| We max out ours so that we can have a nice retirement account. I'm also playing catch up since I stayed home for 6 years. |

18%, then the employer matches 5%.
This isn't maxing it out (we don't make enough for that) but we're trying to get as far ahead as we can before one of us stays home to be w/ kids. |

I do 5 and company contributes 11 as well. I didn't imagine there were many employers like ours out there anymore (maybe we're at the same place...) After the nanny years (3 more years) I will up the amount to 10%. |

I do 15%. Before I had my daughter, I maxed it out, and I also maxed out my Roth. Now I have daycare costs and college savings, so I had to cut back to 15%.

| Financial advisor here. You should do the max, including catch-up if you are of age. Does you employer offer a Roth 401k? You might want to consdier that too. |

I have a Roth 401k option and a 6% match. I do 12% of post-tax money and hit the annual max sometime in the fall each year.
My husband does not have a retirement plan at work. We put $5k in an IRA for him. |

| Between my contribution and my company's I will be at 27% this year. I am thinking about trimming my piece back a little bit, but haven't decided. |

| Currently 10% but plan on increasing to 11% if we (FEDS) get our 1% raise in January. |

23.5% (I max out).
My employer matches five percent, plus we get an additional lump-sum discretionary contribution every February. |

| I don't know what percentage it is, but I've always maxed. I think that's $17,500 this year if you're under 50. |
