Best 401k Match

[Anonymous]

11% and the standard in my sector, which includes a lot of very established Fortune 200-300 companies, is 10-12%

I don’t know where these 20-25% comes from but that seems totally unsustainable - either because they’re paying market rate base and won’t be able to keep up that level of match or because they’re lose talent if their base comp isn’t market rate.

Damn. My husband has never worked for a company that matches, and I haven’t in years. Do freelance now.

I think a lot are non-profits, where the pay can be very low in comparison to other private sector and even government jobs.

No. It's an anonymous forum.

NP I don’t think the company name given would help anyone identify you if your company a few thousand employees. it would be good to know. Otherwise how is this thread helpful?

I used to get my contributions matched up to 5% of my contributions. It's been zero over the past 15 years (three different employers).

This is ours too. I'm a new employee and turning 50 this year, curious if this would apply to the catchup contribution but expect that it wouldn't.

Ah, now it makes sense how people get multimillion dollar 401ks by their 30s on DCUM. People need to post their matches when they post this stuff.

I get 50% of the first 6% of income, so 3% in the end. At $120k income this is a few grand a year.

I used to get about 10% of my salary contributed annually. Small law firm. It was some sort of profit-sharing arrangement so I could not tell you how it was calculated.
