With access to a Roth 401(k) becoming more and more common, I wanted to break down the differences between a Traditional vs Roth 401(k). Including the advantages of each and how to decide which 401(k) plan to choose.

I’m currently considering a Roth 401(k) myself and was surprised by how much nuance there is in making the decision between the common two 401(k) options.
