​Alpine 401 (k)


Have you ever wanted to start saving some money for your retirement? If you have been with Alpine for more than 3 months and have a little bit of money to save from each paycheck, then you can! As your employer, Alpine wants to help you start saving your money. We can do this by offering you the chance to participate in a 401 (k) plan – a savings plan for your retirement.


How does it work?

You decide how much you want to save every month. The amount you save is taken out of your gross salary. Then, taxes are taken from the rest of your gross salary, but not from the part you saved. So, with each paycheck, instead of all the money that used to be taken out for taxes going to the government, part of it is saved for your retirement and you do not have to pay any tax on that until you retire. In other words, you can avoid paying as much tax as before and put some of that tax money into savings! 


What can I do with the money I save?

While you are still working, you can:

-  Invest the saved money so that it can earn interest for you: Your money can work to make a bit more
   money while you are resting!

-  Borrow against the saved money: Your savings are an asset, they have a value and you can ask for a
   loan using this money as a guarantee to pay your loan back. Successfully repaying a loan against your 
   401(k) savings can help you build or repair your credit score.

-  Reduce your annual tax payments: Depending on how much you earn (below $34,000 for single filer, 
   $51,000 for head of household or $68,000 for married, filing jointly - all for 2022), you can receive a tax 
   credit of 
up to $2,000 ($4,000 when filing jointly), called Retirement Savings Contribution Credit which
   leaves you more money to spend 
or save for yourself! For more info on this credit click the below link:

Employer Match

In addition, Alpine will match your contribution (starting 1/1/2023) with 25% for each percent invested up to a max. of 2% in total. The matching contribution will be paid annually before March 15 each year. Eligible employees to receive the match will be all employees enrolled in Alpine's 401 (k) plan and employed at the end of the year or having worked more than 500 hours that year. Alpine's matching contribution vests (is yours to keep) after 3 years of working at Alpine (for at least 1,000 h / year). The match will also vest in case of retirement, disability or death.
  


When you retire, you can withdraw the money to pay for your expenses. While you have to pay some tax on the money you withdraw at that time, this is likely at a lower (retirement) tax rate than what you would have paid before.


Who is going to do all the paperwork and help me figure out how to invest my savings?

Alpine has hired a 401(k) company called, Nationwide, to do all the paperwork and hold on to the money. This is one of the oldest and most secure 401(k) companies in America. To help you figure out how to make the most out of your savings, Alpine has hired Morgan Stanley. The advisers from Morgan Stanley will really help you understand what you can do with your savings.

How much can I save? How much will it cost me?

That depends on a few things like how much money you make, your age, the size of your family and how many hours you work. Contributing into a 401 (k) plan is usually the most tax effective way to save for your retirement, as your contributions are not taxed today, but only when you  take the your money out once you reach your retirement age. Generally speaking, the savings plan works for people who work at least 1,000 hours per year or an average of at least 19 hours per week. Your money grows as your contributions are invested effectively (making you even more money as your money earns more money through capital appreciation and other income), and saving even more money (up to $2000 annually or $4000 when filing jointly) by taking advantage of the Retirement Savings Contribution Credit on your annual tax return.
