TJX is a global retail chain that sells discounted apparel, footwear, cookware, and home furnishings across its network of over 4,900 stores in nine countries, including the United States. For TJX employees, the company's 401(k) plan offers an excellent opportunity for employees to save for retirement.

To be eligible for the TJX 401(k) plan, an employee must have completed one year of service and be at least age 21. The company also offers a company match at $0.75 for every dollar contributed, up to 5% of the employee's eligible compensation. Plan participants can manage their 401(k) retirement savings on the Fidelity NetBenefits platform.

TJX 401(k) provider

The TJX 401(k) plan, known as the TJX Companies, Inc. General Savings/Profit Sharing Plan, is with Fidelity. Previously, the TJX 401(k) plan was with Vanguard Group, but it has since moved to Fidelity Investments. Fidelity is one of the largest investment management companies in the United States, with more than $5.8 trillion in assets under management as of September 2024.

Fidelity provides TJX employees with a user-friendly platform where they can manage their retirement money effectively. Enrolled plan participants can access their 401(k) accounts on the Fidelity website to check their balances, adjust contributions, manage investment options, and request 401(k) loans.

If you are a first-time user, you will be required to create an account on the Fidelity website by entering your personal information, including your name, date of birth, Social Security Number, etc. Once you have signed up for an account, you will be able to access your 401(k) account to adjust your contributions and track your investments.

TJX 401(k) match

TJX matches $0.75 for every dollar employees contribute to their 401(k) plan, up to 5% of employee's compensation. So, if you want to get the full match, you must contribute at least 5% of your pay, and you will get $0.75 for every dollar you put in. Employees are eligible to get the company match once they complete 1000 hours of service in their first year of work, or any calendar year thereafter.

TJX 401(k) loan

TJX employees are eligible to take a 401(k) loan against their vested 401(k) balance. The plan allows participants to borrow the lesser of 50% of their vested balance, up to a maximum of $50,000.

The loan repayment period ranges from 1 to 5 years, and loan payments are made through payroll deductions. However, if you borrow from your 401(k) plan to buy your principal residence, you may be allowed a longer repayment period of up to 15 years.

TJX 401(k) after termination

If you leave TJX, you may have several options with your 401(k) money. Usually, you may be able to leave your 401(k) behind if your 401(k) balance is at least $5,000, or roll over the money into your new employer's 401(k) plan, IRA, or other qualified plan. You may also be able to withdraw the money from the plan, but this option may trigger income taxes, and additional penalties if you are younger than 59 ½.

TJX 401(k) withdrawal

You will be able to withdraw money from your TJX 401(k) account once you reach age 59 ½. At this point, you will be taxed at your income tax bracket. However, if you are below age 59 ½, you may be allowed to take a hardship withdrawal to satisfy an immediate financial need, but you must meet certain hardship conditions. Be aware that early withdrawals from a 401(k) plan may be subject to a 10% early withdrawal penalty. 

TJX 401(k) early withdrawal

The TJX 401(k) plan allows early withdrawals in certain situations. Generally, you will be able to take a hardship withdrawal before age 59 ½ if you are facing an immediate and heavy financial need. Some of the situations that qualify for hardship withdrawals include a first-time home purchase, medical expenses, preventing an eviction or foreclosure, etc. If eligible, you will only be allowed to withdraw the amount required to satisfy your hardship withdrawal.
