If you’re like many working Americans, there’s a good chance you participate in your company’s 401(k) plan. But you may not know that your plan has fees. Even if you do, you might not be sure exactly what those fees are. That’s about to change. Thanks to new government regulations, everyone eligible to participate in a 401(k) plan in which they can direct their investments will be receiving a statement disclosing the fees associated with their plan.

Dave Gray, head of Schwab Retirement Plan Services’ client experience team, explains what’s coming, and how to use the fee disclosure to make more informed decisions about saving for your retirement.

Watch the short video below for details on the types of fees you may be paying and, more importantly, for tips on how you can get the most from your 401(k).
