401(k)/403(b) loan

401(k)/403(b) loan

401(k) and 403(b) are both plans that allow employees to invest and save for their retirment. The employees can authorize their employers to deduct a certain amount of the money from their salary before taxes to invest in these plans. They also permit the taking of loans against funds accrued in these plans. Loans against the 401(k) are often used as down payment for these loans. The 403(b) is also known as tax sheltered annuity (TSA) plan and is provided for employees of public schools, certain tax-exempt organizations and other certain ministries whereas the 410(k) is mainly for private organizations.
