401k investors: How is your company's match?

[DaveJ]

My company contributes 11.5% of my monthly salary to my 403b, regardless of what I put in. Woohoo!

[astroview]

I don't get any matching, which sucks.

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

My new employer will match up to 10%, plus add another 5% (i.e., I put in 10% and end up with 25).

 

[spidey07]

100% match up to 5%.

free money, lots of it.

 

[mchammer187]

i think 5% but it is not a total match

i think something like they give you 1% then some 1:1 match then some 1:2 match (i put in the 2) but i think it is a total of of only 5-6% overall that they match

 

[RichieZ]

25% match up to 6% of pay, but we also have a defined benefits retirement package. So i figure i come out ahead in the end

 

[Jadow]

they match a percentage of what I contribute but the most that I can contribute to get a match is 6%.

Basically, if I put in 6%, they will put in around 55-60% of that 6% (usually around 3-4% of my salary) kinda confusing eh?

 

[DorkBoy]

They match 100% up to 6% of my Pay, but I put in 20% of my own pay. So 26% goes into my 401K.

I have to reduce the 20% down as the year ends so I don't get taxed.

 

[WannaFly]

10.42% of my salary.
my old employer was 4% plus 50% of the next 2%, so 5% in theory.

More or less the same as me, except they match 75% up to 8% of pay.

So I put in 8% and they put in 6%.

I think I still win. My firm "matches" by adding 150% of my contribution up to 10%.

 

[Rage187]

50% up to 4%, so extra 2% a year.

I don't know of too many places that have great 401k plans that take a while to be fully vested. I assume you are vested at 20% a year untill full 5 years?
