[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am really bad with math and tax rates and such.   But I tried to figure this out for you anyhow.

Your gross income is $70,000 a year.   I'm assuming you live in MD and pay a state tax of 5% on that income, and that you pay a federal income tax rate of 25% on that income.

The maximum you can put into a 401K each year is $18,000 which is a contribution rate of about  25% of your gross salary.

Using this calculator I get:

$673
Is your bi-weekly pre-tax contribution to your retirement plan account.

Is an estimation of how much your bi-weekly take home pay will be reduced by.

And this calculator says that if you live in Maryland, and earn $70,000 yearly, your biweekly paycheck would be:

Gross Pay     2692.31
Federal          256.75
Fica               166.92
Medicare          39.04
State               92.26
401K              673.08   (This isn't the same as what I got above)

Net Pay         1464.26
