It also demonstrates the magic of compound interest over 20, 30, or 40 years. Whether you're just starting your career or catching up later in life, this tool helps you set realistic goals and adjust your strategy to ensure a comfortable, secure future.

History Note: The 401(k) gets its name from a section of the Internal Revenue Code added in 1978. It wasn't originally intended to be the primary retirement vehicle for most Americans, but it quickly replaced traditional pensions!
