Does a traditional 401(k) contribution change my take-home?
Yes. Traditional 401(k) contributions come out of your pay before federal income tax and state income tax in most states, so the tax withheld on each check drops and your net pay falls by less than the contribution itself. Roth 401(k) contributions come out after tax. See the 401(k) calculator.
Is take-home pay the same as net pay?
Yes. Take-home pay, net pay and net wages all mean what is left after federal income tax, FICA (Social Security and Medicare) and state withholding. Pre-tax deductions like health premiums reduce it; reimbursements do not.
