The advantages of a tax-qualified plan This chart compares the hypothetical results of contributing $100 each month to (1) a taxable account and (2) a tax-qualified retirement account. Bear in mind that a $100 pretax contribution to a tax-qualified account has a current cost of $75 (assuming a 25% income tax bracket) and also reduces current taxable income.
