A 401(k) plan is an employer-sponsored retirement savings account that lets workers set aside part of their paycheck into investments, often with tax breaks and sometimes with matching contributions from the employer. Think of it as a workplace piggy bank that grows through employee contributions, optional company top-ups, and market returns; it matters to investors because it shapes household retirement security, drives large flows of money into public markets, and affects a company’s compensation costs and ability to attract and keep talent.
