The membership

Monitor your 401(k), mega backdoor Roth, and HSA with every payday

You don’t need benefits expertise. Cedarwise explains the plan details that matter and guides you through your contributions, paychecks, and job changes.

Shown below: the portal for one example member.

Your first answer

Your paycheck instruction

How much to put in per paycheck, and from which paycheck, to use each limit in full.

The portal recommending an after-tax 401(k) amount per paycheck and naming the first paycheck and the through date

Every payday

Paycheck check-in

Compare each paystub with your elections. A payroll mistake is caught on the payday it happens.

Calendar

One calendar holds every payday, election change, conversion checkpoint, and job date that needs your attention.

All year

Contribution outlook

How close you are to every limit, and the date you reach it.

When something is off

Limit corrections

When you are heading over a limit: the lower amount, and the paycheck to change it on.

When you change jobs

Job changes

Your new elections are set from what you already contributed at the old job, so you neither overshoot a limit nor leave it unused.
