401K
Belle Tire is committed to ensuring our team is ready for retirement when that time comes. To help ensure this, employees will be automatically enrolled in a pre-tax 401K at 5% payroll deductions upon eligibility. Contributions to the plan will be automatically increased by 1.00% each year and will cap at 10.00%.
When can I start contributing to my 401K?
Employees who are at least 21 years of age are eligible to participate in the 401K plan on the first of the month following three full months (90 days) of employment.
How do I see my account or make changes?
If you would like to view more information regarding the Belle Tire 401K plan please visit www.netbenefits.com or call 800-924-4015 to speak to a representative at Fidelity Investments. You will be able to view plan documents and make any changes to your contributions, including opting to not participate in the plan, via the NetBenefits website shown above. Should you choose to make no changes you will be automatically enrolled in a pre-tax 401k upon your date of eligibility.
Did you know the more you contribute to your 401K the more Belle Tire will contribute?
The money you save today will grow in value as it accumulates compound interest. Compound interest is the addition of interest to the principal sum of a deposit (which means interest on interest). That is why the more time your money has to accumulate compound interest, the better!
Using an example of an employer match of $1,400, and an assumed interest rate of 7% your $1,400 could grow to:
- After 5 years- $1,963.57
- After 10 years- $2,754.01
- After 15 years- $3,862.64
- After 20 years- $5,417.56
