401K Contribution Match
Posted on 1/5/11 at 2:06 pm
Posted on 1/5/11 at 2:06 pm
I'm getting close to being able to enroll in my companies 401k plan. They have a matching program that runs like this. Anything above 5% is matched at 4%. Would you go for the simple 3% contribution or top out at 5%?
YOU = MATCH
3% = 3%
4% = 3.5%
5% = 4%
YOU = MATCH
3% = 3%
4% = 3.5%
5% = 4%

It's free money. You just gave yourself a 4% raise. Congrats! Unless you are just dieing for cash, this is the only logical answer.

I'm positively leaning to the 5%=4% match. I also max out my IRA and set emergency aside.

We get 8% matched, dollar for dollar. Best free money there is. Definitely max out.

Put in as much as you can reasonably afford (within the IRS limit), as the tax exempt status is a hell of a "return" in and of itself....

Put in the 5%, then max out the Roth. If you still have cash left, enjoy.....
