Why Inherited Roth 401(k) Money Beats a Traditional 401(k)
Original: Why a $900,000 Traditional 401(k) Is Worth About $680,000 to the Kids, and a $900,000 Roth Is Worth All of It
A personal finance analysis compares what heirs actually receive from a $900,000 traditional 401(k) versus a $900,000 Roth 401(k). Because withdrawals from a traditional account are taxed as income, beneficiaries may net roughly $680,000, while qualified Roth distributions pass to heirs tax-free, preserving the full amount. The piece is prompting discussion about retirement account choices and estate planning.
Why now: Retirees and savers are weighing Roth versus traditional accounts as tax rules and inheritance planning get renewed attention.
