Teacher Benefits
Why Sgroi?
Growing up in a family of teachers, Joseph Sgroi was aware of the dedication it took to be a great educator. In the early 1970s Joe’s dad was retiring from the Buffalo Public schools after 40 years of service while his sister was beginning her teacher career. It was then that he realized there was a need to help all educators receive the support and guidance needed to reach their retirement goals. Sgroi Financial was created to provide that needed service in Western New York.
Fast forward to today, Sgroi Financial is still a proud local supporter, assisting over 3,000 teachers, educators, and other school employees from over 100 school districts across New York State with their 403(b) plans.
What is a 403(b)?
A voluntary plan sponsored by your employer that allows you to:
Contribute toward your retirement, before taxes and tax-deferred
Reduce your taxable income
Contribute according to your budget
Benefit from financial professionals guiding your investments
Take advantage of higher contribution limits than an IRA
Example:
$ 100 Per Pay Deposit
x.28 28% Marginal Tax Bracket (22% Fed.- 6% NYS)
$ 28 Per Pay Decrease in Withholding Tax
$ 100 Per Pay Deposit
-28 Weekly Decrease in Federal Withholding Tax
$ 72 Decrease in Take-Home Pay
