The two plans are also different in that 401(k) plans do not offer a three-year Pre-Retirement Catch-Up; and 457(b) plans do. Another difference is that a 401(k) distribution prior to age 59½ may be subject to a 10% early withdrawal penalty and 457(b) plans generally do not have the same early withdrawal penalty.

Differences Compared With 401(k) and 403(b) Plans Unlike 403(b) and 401(k) accounts, participants can take regular withdrawals from 457 plans as soon as they retire, regardless of whether they have reached age 59½. These distributions are taxed as regular income, but the 10% early withdrawal penalty is never applied.

Cons of 457(b) plans: Fewer investing options than 401(k)s (Not as common today) Only available to certain employees employed by state or local governments or qualifying nonprofits. Employer contributions count toward the annual limit. Non-governmental 457(b) plans are riskier.

In the United States, a tax-deferred savings plan like the 401(k), 403(b) and 457 plans are usually the best idea if your employer is willing to match your contributions.

To enroll in the 457(b) deferred compensation plan, you must be an eligible faculty or administrative staff employee with eligible earnings of more than $269,000 in 2024 for 2025 participation.
