“I am no longer using my accounts with Vanguard and Acorns because of the ease and overall confidence I have with Betterment.”

Keep more of what you earn with our tax-saving technology.

Most people think about taxes once a year. We're always thinking about how to lower yours.
  • When an investment drops in value, we can sell it to capture the loss and buy a similar one to keep you invested. Those losses can offset capital gains and up to $3,000 of regular income each year.

     


    Tax savings can even cover your fee

    66%of customers using tax-loss harvesting covered their Betterment fees through estimated tax savings.**

  • Open both an IRA and a taxable investing account, and we'll place higher-taxed investments in the account where they're taxed least, coordinating across your accounts, not just within them.




    Boost your returns with asset location

    0.30%Putting your investments in the right accounts can add up to 0.30% a year to your after-tax returns (according to Vanguard).

Betterment does not provide tax advice. TLH is not suitable for all investors. Learn more.

“I love Betterment because of how easy it is to design my portfolio and manage it through their algorithms, auto-rebalancing, and tax-loss harvesting. I’ve been with the big fund companies, and they don’t make it this easy.”
