There’s a legal way for high earners to put an extra $30,000–$40,000 into a Roth every single year — on top of the normal 401(k) limit — and let it grow tax-free for life. Mega Backdoor Roth explains exactly how, built on current 2026 limits.

Most people who could use this powerful, underused tool have never heard of it because it’s buried in their 401(k)’s fine print. This short book shows what it is, whether your plan allows it, and the step-by-step moves to execute it without tripping a tax landmine.

Contribution and total-additions caps live in Annual Update Matrix boxes for a yearly refresh.
