2 If You Offer It, Participants Will Use It: Roth Usage in Defined Contribution Plans Roth accounts within a defined contribution plan have become the norm, not the exception. According to Aon Hewitt s 2015 Trends & Experience in Defined Contribution Plans report, 58% of employers currently allow employees to make Roth contributions, an increase from only 11% in This paper explores participant use of these plans. What percentage of participants use the Roth feature? Does the time since employer adoption matter? What is the profile of a typical Roth user? How do savings rates among Roth users compare to those of nonusers? Why are Roth accounts important? Background on Roth Facts About Roth Employee contribution limits include both before-tax and Roth contributions $18,000 for 2016, which is significantly higher than the Roth IRA at $5,500 Unlike Roth IRA contributions, there are no income limits for making Roth contributions Over three-fourths of employers rely on the defined contribution plan as the primary retirement income vehicle for their workforces. Historically, these plans have encouraged participants to save on a before-tax basis. All that changed a decade ago, when legislation paved the way for individuals to save in a defined contribution plan via an after-tax option, called the Roth account. The Pension Protection Act of 2006 cemented the long-term permanence of the Roth feature in 401(k) and 403(b) plans. Next, 2011 legislation allowed governmental 457(b) plans to add Roth. Finally, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 further liberalized Roth provisions by relaxing the in-plan conversion requirements. Plan sponsors may match Roth contributions Loans and certain withdrawals are permissible from Roth accounts Roth contributions are available for tax-free, penalty-free distributions when an individual reaches age 59½, dies, or suffers a disability but only if a Roth contribution account is at least five years old By contributing to a Roth account, participants are electing to trade current year tax deductions for tax-free benefits in retirement. Specifically, individuals contribute to a Roth account on an after-tax basis, and, upon retirement, these contributions and the earnings on them can be withdrawn tax-free. i Whether Roth contributions are better than before-tax contributions depends on two factors: (1) the individual s tax rate today, and (2) the individual s tax rate in retirement. If rates are the same, then there is no difference in the net benefits of the two approaches. If tax rates are higher in retirement, then the Roth contribution is more beneficial. Conversely, if tax rates are lower in retirement, before-tax contributions will yield more take-home income. A Roth in-plan conversion allows a participant to convert an existing balance of funds to a Roth account. Under this approach, participants must pay taxes on the converted balance in the year of the conversion. The decision whether or not to convert depends not only on the participant s viewpoint of the future of tax rates, but also on the availability of assets outside the plan because any tax burden resulting from the conversion cannot be paid from the defined contribution plan balance.

3 Employer Prevalence Roth Availability Is Steadily Increasing Employers are increasingly keen on adding the Roth feature to their defined contribution plans. In the past decade, the percentage of employers allowing individuals to contribute to a Roth account has grown nearly six-fold, and Roth is now offered by more than half of all qualified plans. ii The earliest adopters of Roth were primarily financial services employers; however, Roth contributions are now prevalent across all industries. Roth Prevalence % 33% % Employer Adoption: Summary Facts 58% of employers currently allow Roth contributions, up from 11% in % of plans with a Roth feature also allow Roth in-plan conversions While the availability of the Roth account deferral feature has increased relatively quickly, Roth in-plan conversions are less common but gaining momentum. More than one-fourth (33%) of plans with a Roth feature also allow Roth in-plan conversions. Employee Usage The Longer the Time Since Adoption, the Greater the Usage Over time, if plan sponsors offer a Roth contribution, then more participants will use it. The longer Roth contributions are available, the more participants will contribute on a Roth basis. Roth usage has steadily increased over time. In 2012, the average Roth participation rate was 8% but by the beginning of 2016, 12% of participants were contributing money to a Roth account. The usage at any particular company can be wide-ranging from 4% to 25% of participants. Percentage of Participants Using Roth: By Time Since Adoption Most companies with low Roth participation implemented the feature only recently. In the first 5% 3% year after adopting Roth, typically fewer than 5% of workers use the feature. Companies seeing the highest usage are those who were the early 1 Year 2 3 Years 4 6 Years 7+ Years adopters of Roth. However, participation steadily grows the longer Roth has been offered in the plan. Among companies who have offered the Roth feature for seven or more years, the average participation rate is 17%, compared to just 3% during the first year of adoption. 13% 17% If You Offer It, Participants Will Use It: Roth Usage in Defined Contribution Plans 2
4 New Hires, Younger Workers, and Those Making $60K $99K Are the Most Common Roth Users Employees with lower tenure are more likely to use the Roth feature than those with longer service. Among participants who enrolled in the past two years, 16% opted to save a portion of their money in a Roth account. As tenure increases, Roth usage steadily decreases. In addition to service, Roth usage is related to age. Younger participants are more likely to use a Roth contribution feature than their older counterparts. More than 19% of workers in their 20s elected to contribute to a Roth when it is available, versus fewer than 8% of those in their 60s. Percentage of Participants Using Roth: By Age 5% 19% 14% 11% 7% Percentage of Participants Using Roth: By Tenure 5% 16% 17% 16% 14% 14% Percentage of Participants Using Roth: By Salary 5% 12% 12% 11% 9% % $20K $39K $40K $59K $60K $79K $80K $99K $100K + Percentage of Participants Using Roth By Gender 13% 11% This is consistent with the premise that younger workers will benefit more from Roth contributions, given they often have lower current tax rates (typically correlated to lower wages). In terms of salary, those earning between $60,000 and $99,000 had the highest Roth usage, at. Males were slightly more likely to make Roth contributions than females (13% vs 11% respectively). 5% Male Female If You Offer It, Participants Will Use It: Roth Usage in Defined Contribution Plans 3
5 Roth Users Save More Among plans that allow Roth contributions, the average total deferral rate for the Roth users (10.4%) is higher than the average total contribution rate for participants who do not contribute to a Roth account (8.2%). Average Savings Rates: Among Plans Allowing Roth 12% 8% 6% 4% 2% 6.2% 0.3% 3.9% Roth Users Roth After-Tax Before-Tax 0.2% 8. Roth Non-Users This is particularly notable because, due to the tax implications, every dollar saved to a Roth account is worth more than a dollar saved to a before-tax account. Roth Before-Tax After-Tax Contribution $5,000 $5,000 $5,000 Balance 30 Years $38,061 $38,061 $38,061 Tax Amount (25% Rate) $0 $9,515 $8,265 Ending Balance $38,061 $28,546 $29,796 The above table illustrates the difference between contributing the same dollar amount to a Roth account versus a before-tax and after-tax account. This scenario assumes an individual invests $5,000 in the account for 30 years, earns an equivalent interest rate of 7% per year and is subsequently in the 25% tax bracket at retirement. As this illustration shows, contributing to a Roth account can sizably increase the net retirement income for individuals in this case, by 33%. Because many individuals will save at a rate that is exactly equal to the employer match threshold, workers can effectively increase their take-home retirement income by changing their contributions from a before-tax basis to Roth.

6 The Importance of Roth It is clear that Roth prevalence is growing. More employers are offering the Roth feature, and more employees are using it. Roth has distinct and important features for a number of different stakeholders in the defined contribution plan system. For individuals, the Roth account is a way to increase savings. Because of the tax implications, every dollar contributed to a Roth account is worth more than a dollar contributed to a pre-tax account. Additionally, Roth accounts provide individual investors with a means of tax diversification. Retirees will inevitably have some years with higher costs than other years. Having a Roth account can help stabilize the amount of money withdrawn from a taxable account to make tax preparation more predictable. For lawmakers, the Roth account is a way to accelerate tax revenue while still providing incentives for individuals to save in the employer-sponsored retirement system. For employers, a Roth account is a way to encourage employees to save more for retirement. In addition, now that a majority of companies have the Roth feature, adding it is a way to maintain competitive retirement benefits. Finally, a Roth account can be used as a way to attract employees. As shown in this paper, there are certain demographics more apt to the use the Roth feature. If You Offer It, Participants Will Use It: Roth Usage in Defined Contribution Plans 5
