If you earn over $100K and you're only contributing to a 401(k), you're leaving serious money on the table.

Here's the optimal order for tax-advantaged account funding — and why most people get it wrong:

1. 401(k) Up to the Employer Match

Your employer match is a 100% instant return. There's no investment on earth that beats free money. If your employer matches 50% up to 6%, contribute at least 6% before touching anything else.

2. HSA (If You Have a High-Deductible Health Plan)

The HSA is the only triple-tax-advantaged account in the entire tax code:

• Tax-deductible contributions

• Tax-free growth

• Tax-free withdrawals for medical expenses

Most people don't realize you can invest your HSA balance and let it compound for decades. Pay medical bills out of pocket now, save receipts, and reimburse yourself tax-free in retirement.

2026 limits: $4,300 individual / $8,550 family

3. Backdoor Roth IRA

If you earn too much for direct Roth contributions, the Backdoor Roth strategy lets you get money into a Roth IRA regardless of income:

1. Contribute to a Traditional IRA (non-deductible)

2. Convert to Roth IRA

3. Pay minimal tax on any gains between contribution and conversion

This gives you a tax-free growth engine with no required minimum distributions.

Why Order Matters

Each account has different tax treatment at contribution, growth, and withdrawal. The optimal sequence minimizes your lifetime tax burden — not just this year's.

Most high earners could save $15,000-$50,000+ in taxes over a decade just by using the right accounts in the right order.
