How it works
Employer and employee contributions compound monthly, assuming the match is a percentage of salary.
Worked calculation
An $80,000 salary, 8% employee savings and 4% employer contribution. For the sample inputs, the calculator displays these results:
| Monthly combined contribution | $800.00 |
|---|---|
| Projected account value | $528,627.12 |
Assumptions and limitations
Employer match formulas, eligibility and contribution caps differ; verify plan rules.
