Maximizing Your Supplemental Retirement Savings

While your state pension provides a foundation for retirement income, supplemental retirement plans like 403(b) and 457(b) accounts are essential for maintaining your lifestyle in retirement. These tax-advantaged accounts offer significant benefits for public sector employees.

Why Supplemental Plans Matter

Research shows that most public employees need 70-80% of their pre-retirement income to maintain their standard of living. Your pension alone may not provide this level of income replacement. Supplemental plans help bridge this gap while offering valuable tax benefits.

403(b) Plans

  • • Pre-tax contributions reduce current taxable income
  • • 2026 contribution limit: $23,000 ($30,500 age 50+)
  • • Potential employer matching contributions
  • • Special catch-up provisions for long-term employees

457(b) Plans

  • • Separate contribution limits from 403(b)
  • • No early withdrawal penalty before age 59½
  • • Special catch-up in final 3 years before retirement
  • • Ideal for those starting retirement savings later

Pro Tip: Many public employees can contribute to both a 403(b) AND a 457(b) plan simultaneously, potentially deferring up to $46,000 annually ($61,000 if age 50+). This powerful strategy can significantly boost your retirement savings.
