Is it possible to borrow from 401(k)?

If you are permitted to take a loan, the amount of the loan will be limited to whatever the plan provides, but not more than 50% of your vested account balance.

401(k) plans may or may not allow loans, or may allow loans only for specific reasons. If you are permitted to take a loan, the amount of the loan will be limited to whatever the plan provides, but not more than 50% of your vested account balance. The loan is also required to be repaid over a period of not more than 5 years, unless it is going to be used to purchase your principal residence, in which case there is no limit under the law, but plans will typically limit home loans to no more than 15–20 years. Payments of principal and interest must be no less frequent than quarterly, although most plans will require repayment to be made out of paychecks. The loan is required to have a commercially-reasonable interest rate — e.g., no interest-free loans — and be secured by a pledge of your vested account balance. Repayments are usually (but not always) credited back to your account. A default in payments — which will normally not occur if repayment is coming out of paychecks — will cause the outstanding balance of the loan to be taxable in the year of the default. If you are eligible to receive a distribution from the plan, the loan can be offset against your account balance. Otherwise, the loan will continue to accrue interest, which you will have to pay, until you either pay off the loan, or are eligible to offset the loan against your account balance.
