Chevron 401(k)
As a Chevron employee, you are provided with an Employee Savings Investment Plan (ESIP), which is a defined contribution plan that can make it easy to save for a retirement account. Because both yours and Chevron’s matching contributions are immediately vested, you can take your savings with you when you leave Chevron. We at Insight know that you will want to make the most of your benefits and when you work with one of our financial advisors, we can help make sure you do.
When you make contributions to your 401(k), you can choose between contributing to the Roth 401 (k), pre-tax or after-tax sources. If you want to be eligible to receive the Chevron 401 (k)match you will need to contribute at least 2%.
If you decide to contribute to the Roth or pre-tax sources and are under 50 years old in 2021, you can contribute up to $19,500 between pre-tax or Roth. This means that if you contribute $10,000 to pre-tax, you would only be able to contribute $9,500 to Roth. An additional $6,500 can be contributed if you are over 50 years old, bringing the total contributions form pre-tax and Roth to $26,000 (in 2021). Our financial planning team has experience navigating these sometimes complicated Chevron benefits plans, so that you make sure you are getting the most out of what you have worked so hard to save.
Wealth management is essential in making the most of your Chevron Corporation benefits. Employer matches can significantly boost your retirement savings. For Chevron employees, understanding the impact of the annual contribution limit is crucial to maximizing these benefits. Our financial advisors are well-versed in helping you optimize your matching contribution and overall retirement savings strategy.
