What is the difference between 401(k) and IRA?
Both are retirement savings
Both are retirement savings plans. The 401k plan is an employer based plan whereas the IRA is an individual plan. The employee contribution limit in IRAs is 3 times less than the 401k.
These are retirement plans.
These are retirement plans. 401 (K) is employer sponsored plan. Ans IRA is an individual retirement plan.
