Several people I've met with recently were contributing to a Roth 401(k) and weren't sure where the Roth part actually was. One thought it was a separate account floating somewhere outside his plan.

Fair confusion. There isn't really formal education on this stuff unless you intentionally seek it out.

Roth isn't an account. It's a tax treatment. You pay tax on the money now, and in exchange the growth and qualified withdrawals are tax-free later.

That treatment lives in two main places.

A Roth 401(k) sits inside your employer's plan. Funded through payroll, employer match can still apply, and there's no income limit, so high earners can use it.

A Roth IRA is its own account, held outside any employer. You open it, you choose the investments. This one does have income limits.

Same tax treatment. Two different homes for it.
