What is 401(k)?
A 401(k) is a type of retirement savings plan sponsored by an employer. It lets employees save and invest a portion of their paychecks either before taxes are taken out (traditional) or after taxes (Roth). The plan allows employees to save for their future without having to rely on an employer offering a pension.
Create the future you want and pursue financial independence and set up a TCWGlobal 401(k) retirement savings plan through Empower Retirement. Your TCWGlobal 401(k) Plan can help you achieve the retirement you want — a future focused on what you want to do instead of what you have to do.
Get started today and use the tools to help you invest for the retirement income you may need.

Making the maximum annual contribution
The IRS has an annual contribution limit for anyone participating in a 401(k) plan. If you’re under 50, the maximum annual contribution amount for 2024 is $23,000 and if you’re 50 or older, the maximum annual contribution amount for 2024 is $30,500. TCWGlobal automatically caps the limit so long as all of the contributions took place through TCWGlobal's payroll.
Keep in mind that the $23,000 or $30,500 for age 50 and over can be a mix of pre-tax (traditional) and/or after-tax (Roth) regardless of income threshold.
Please see this IRS article on contribution limits for more information.
