The New York City Deferred Compensation Plan (DCP) allows eligible New York City employees a way to save for retirement through convenient payroll deductions. DCP is comprised of two programs: a 457 Plan and a 401(k) Plan, both of which offer pre-tax and Roth (after-tax) options.

You cannot set up your own 401(k) as an employee. The only exception to this rule is if you are self-employed, you can set up a 401(k) known as a solo-401(k) or an individual 401(k). You can set up your own retirement account in the form of a traditional or Roth IRA.
Some industry experts say the magic savings number for retirement is 10 times your annual salary by the time you're 67. Another strategy is to save 10%-15% of your pre-tax salary throughout your career. Everyone's financial situation is different, so the amount they need to save in their 401(k) is, too.

The law says employers must provide retirement options if they employ 10 or more individuals. If an employer doesn't offer a qualified retirement program, they'll need to enroll employees in New York State's Secure Choice Savings Plan.
