Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A 401(k) Plan is a defined contribution plan that is a cash or deferred arrangement. Employees can elect to defer receiving a portion of their salary which is instead contributed on their behalf, before taxes, to the 401(k) plan. Sometimes the employer may match these contributions.

Detailed explanation-2: -A 401(k) plan is a tax-advantaged plan that offers a way to save for retirement. With a traditional 401(k) an employee contributes to the plan with pre-tax wages, meaning contributions are not considered taxable income. The 401(k) plan allows these contributions to grow tax-free until they’re withdrawn at retirement.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main difference between 401(k)s and IRAs is that employers offer 401(k)s, but individuals open IRAs on their own, through a broker or bank. IRAs typically offer more investment options, but 401(k)s allow higher annual contributions.
