How to Save Thousands to a Roth in 2023 with Amazon's 401(k) and Mega Backdoor Option

In 2023, you can contribute up to $66,000 if you’re under 50 and $73,500 if you’re 50 or older to your Amazon 401(k). You can fully leverage these limits by taking advantage of the Mega Backdoor Roth – a powerful provision within your Amazon 401(k). The Mega Backdoor Roth allows you to contribute after-tax dollars and convert those dollars to Roth. You can maximize your retirement savings and take advantage of the tax benefits associated with a Roth. Your regular 401(k) contribution limit also increased in 2023. If you’re under 50 you can contribute up to $22,500 and if you’re 50 or older you can contribute up to $30,000. Amazon will also match up to 2% of your base salary, which means that if you're making $325,000 and you put $22,500 into your 401(k), Amazon will contribute an extra $6,500 as a match.
