Yes - this is True if the company tries to put your sick bank $$ into your 401K/B fund accounts
However - it’s false if the pilots contributes $12,650 or more in ROTH 401K contributions after maximizing their pre-tax 401K contributions
$61K Max = Pre-Tax 401K + Roth 401K + Company $500 match + Company B Fund Max
$61K Max = $20,500 + Roth + $500 + $27,450
Thus Roth max = $12,650
If you make $305K or greater, and put in more than $12,650 in additional Roth contributions, you’ll be forgoing “free B Fund money” from the company
These numbers change each year, but ambitious savers need to keep paying attention
(Note: You’ll always get your Sick Bank payout, it just may be taxable)
