Pre-Tax vs. Post-Tax Deduction Architecture
Pre-Tax Deductions (Tax Shields)
Pre-tax contributions (Traditional 401k, Section 125 health insurance, HSA/FSA) reduce your taxable gross wage before income taxes are calculated.
Post-Tax Deductions
Post-tax deductions (Roth 401k, disability insurance, union dues, garnishments) do not lower your current taxable income, but Roth contributions provide tax-free withdrawals in retirement.
