      Sources & methodology

        Equal pre-tax dollar model: Traditional grows full contribution then taxed at τf; Roth invests after current tax then grows tax-free. State rates use Tax Foundation top ordinary marginal approximations (not full multi-bracket + SALT). SCF peers are household, national, conditional on holding accounts.
