* This hypothetical example is based solely on an assumed 25% income tax withholding rate. No other payroll deductions are taken into account. Actual taxes and take home pay will depend on your individual tax

situation. Pre-tax contributions and any related earnings will be taxed at the time of withdrawal. Any earnings on after-tax Roth contributions are income tax-free if certain conditions are met.

Investing involves risk, including risk of loss.

Information contained within this presentation is subject to change pending final regulations.

1 Estimate based on a hypothetical couple retiring in 2016, 65-years-old, with average life expectancies of 85 for a male and 87 for a female. Estimates are

calculated for “average” retirees, but may be more or less depending on actual health status, area of residence, and longevity. Estimate is net of taxes. The Fidelity

Retiree Health Care Costs Estimate assumes individuals do not have employer-provided retiree health care coverage, but do qualify for the federal government’s

insurance program, Original Medicare. The calculation takes into account cost-sharing provisions (such as deductibles and coinsurance) associated with Medicare

Part A and Part B (inpatient and outpatient medical insurance). It also considers Medicare Part D (prescription drug coverage) premiums and out-of-pocket costs, as

well as certain services excluded by Original Medicare. The estimate does not include other health-related expenses, such as over-the-counter medications, most

dental services and long-term care. Life expectancies based on research and analysis by Fidelity Investments Benefits Consulting group and data from the Society

of Actuaries, 2014.

*A distribution from a Roth 401(k) is federally tax free and penalty free, provided the five-year aging requirement has been satisfied and one of the following
