Your contributions to a Roth 403(b) and traditional pretax 403(b) cannot exceed IRS limits. Your contribution is based on your eligible compensation. Unlike a traditional pretax 403(b), the Roth 403(b) allows you to withdraw your money tax free when you retire.
Yes, for 2020 and 2021, if you are age 50 or older, you can make a contribution of up to $26,000 to your 401(k), 403(b) or governmental 457(b) plan ($19,500 regular and $6,500 catch-up contributions) and $7,000 to a Roth IRA ($6,000 regular and $1,000 catch-up IRA contributions) for a total of $33,000.
If your employer offers a Roth 401(k) or Roth 403(b), you'll pay taxes now but not in retirement. Unlike Roth IRAs, Roth 401(k)s and Roth 403(b)s aren't subject to income limits, so you're eligible no matter how much you earn.
The annual maximum for 2017 is $18,000. If you are age 50 or over, a 'catch-up' provision allows you to contribute an additional $6,000 into your 403(b) account. It is also important to note that employer contributions do not affect an employee's maximum annual contribution limit.
For many, the answer is “both” – you can absolutely contribute to both a 403(b) and a Roth IRA at the same time. ... If, on the other hand, you expect to have a lower tax rate in retirement than you do now, then you may be better off with a tax-deferred vehicle like a 403(b).
No, there are some differences: The Roth 403(b) does not have an income restriction, but a Roth IRA does restrict participation based on income level. With the Roth 403(b) you will be able to contribute up to the 403(b) IRS limit. ... Roth 403(b) contributions are subject to required minimum distributions.
What is the Roth 403(b) and how is it different from the standard 403(b)? Roth contributions are after-tax, which means you pay taxes now on your contributions, but all qualified* withdrawals, including earnings, are tax-free.

Yes. Most employers will match Roth 403(b) after-tax contributions to the same extent they match traditional 403(b) pre-tax contributions.

Compared to a Roth IRA, designated Roth accounts offer larger annual contribution limits than Roth IRAs and are not subject to the modified gross income limitations that restrict some individuals from contributing to Roth IRAs and allow participants to keep their Roth and pretax savings within a single plan.
Both plans permit the maximum contributions for 2020, $19,500; but the 403(b) doesn't allow age-50 catch-ups. You can still contribute a total of $26,000 in pre-tax and designated Roth contributions to both plans.
Most people will qualify for the maximum contribution of $6,000, or $7,000 for those age 50 and up. If your MAGI is in the Roth IRA phase-out range, you can make a partial contribution. You can't contribute at all if your MAGI exceeds the limits.

The IRS will charge you a 6% penalty tax on the excess amount for each year in which you don't take action to correct the error. For example, if you contributed $1,000 more than you were allowed, you'd owe $60 each year until you correct the mistake.
