It is really never too early to formulate a detailed retirement plan

, however before you take a dive; you should make sure that the water is clear. Investing for retirement process requires a detailed planning to get the results you desire. I am sure that with few tips I provide you here, you can just start making most out of your retirement planning.

Budget

Every viable retirement plan should start with a proper budget. The budgeting process affords you to finalize funds you will contribute and save for your retirement. The funds you will contribute to your 401(K) plan largely rely on the savings available with you.

The amount of money you put in 401(k) is mainly dependent upon your age. As per Linda Gadkowski working in Beacon Financial Planning, if you are in your 30s you should keep aside 10 percent of your monthly income. If you are in your 40s then 15 percent of income should be moving in retirement plans and if your are above 40 then about 20 percent. However, if you can manage, you should try to contribute largest amount of money to maximum allowed in the IRS scheme.

You should get a full match

You must get a full match by making your side of contribution to the 401(k). The employer 401 (k) plans usually make contribution of 50 cents for each dollar you give, and upto six percent of the income you have. In order to get full benefits, you must make it a point to contribute as much amount as your employer is contributing.

Make sure to max out your 401(k)

You can max out your 402(k) in order to decrease your income tax liabilities and save money in the process. The maximum amount of money which you can contribute to 401(k) is determined by the IRS annually. For 2010, maximum limit is $16,500. When you make maximum contributions to 401(k), you reduce your federal income tax and other state taxes. Say for example you get $ 50,000 in one year and make a contribution of $16,500, and then you'd have to give federal income tax on $33,500 only. Income taxes in the states vary. After you cross 50 years of age, you are permitted a catch up contribution of extra $5000 every year.
