employer match wording?

Kinda threw me off.
"Employer will match 50% up to 2.5 of gross annual salary"
Does this mean (assuming 50k salary) that they will match:
50% of the $1250 (2.5% of 50k) that I put up?
or they put up 1250 if I put in 2500?

I'd assume the later but go the HR website. It should have additional information.

Check with HR, but generally this means that for every dollar you put in, they will match it by putting up 50 cents, until you have put in 2.5 percent of your annual salary.
Using your numbers, this means once you have put up $2,500, they will stop the match.

I read it as they will match 50% of your contribution until their contribution reaches 2.5% (so your contribution is 5%). Wording seems pretty standard to me.

I interpret it as if you put in 5%, they put in 2.5%.
If you put in 4%, they only put in 2%, but if you put in 6%, they will only put in 2.5%.
If you put in 4%, they only put in 2%, but if you put in 6%, they will only put in 2.5%.

Assuming 50k salary.
2.5% of 50,000 is $1,250 << you contribute up to this much and still get employer matching.
50% match on $1,250 is $625 << if you contribute the $1,250, then the employer will put in a maximum of $625.

To me it's the same as a 50% of the first 5%.
