I’m 29 years old. Just started at Facebook total comp 245k.
First pre-tax, then after-tax with mega-backdoor, and ira after tax and rollover to Roth.
Why backdoor after mega?
So first invest up to the pre tax limit for Roth?
Always do mega.
Is there an income limit on traditional ira contributions?
Max out pre-tax 401k and on top do both Mega and "regular" backdoors. Our 401k has the mega built in - after tax contributions+auto roth conversion+rollover to roth IRA anytime. In addition you should do regular backdoor - 6k into traditional IRA with immidiate rollover into Roth IRA
Roth makes sense if you anticipate your tax at retirement to exceed your current tax rate. How much cash do you have on hand post tax?
I only have like 25k cash right now. So what should I do
Pre tax probably makes sense for now. I would hold off on a mega backdoor personally until you have more liquid assets as a safety net.
