What is the tax rate for early redemption on a 401K?

I am not working, and I may need to redeem my 401k in the amount of $25,000 prior to the age of 59 1/2. How much will I receive?

Thanks!

No matter what age , you have to pay income tax , usually about 20% , if
younger than 55 1/2 ,there is an additional 10% penalty.

 
 

Answer 2/2 - Submitted 11/7/2010

You will need to look up this years tax bracket calculation to determine what percentage you will owe on federal taxes. In addition, you will lose 10% off the top ($2,500 as a penalty for early withdrawal). A good rule of thumb is to plan on 40% being taken out as a worst case. When the check comes it will be slightly more than you planned and won't be a disappointment.
