re: Best 401K matches you have heard of

We get 5% right off the bat and then 100% match on the first 5% we put in


I.e. Employee puts up 5, employer puts up 10

Sadly, I bet very little take advantage of this, if accurate.

Would be interesting to find out since the max contribution is what now? $18.5k? After taxes for an NFL player that may be ~$10k which is ~2% of league minimum salary

My company gives 2% regardless of contribution and 50% up to 4 percent. So if I put in 4% I get 4% from the company. Also, there is profit sharing up to 3%.

Had 6 percent once

Downstream oil...100 percent match up to 7 percent plus pension

I'm thinking you and I work for the same company.

I think most of the majors are similar....I think Marathon is similar to what we have

I put in 4%, company matches the 4%. It also puts in 8% on top of that. Not bad, now if I can get a higher salary.

Certain large European oil company gives 2.5% of salary from year 1 - 4, 5% of salary from year 5 - 9, and 10% from year 10 on. Regardless of our personal contribution.

This. First few years aren't great, but after year 9 it is very nice.

Plus pension, which at a minimum is 4%/year, again increasing by 2% every 5 years (based on age+experience).

Not a 401k plan but the pension retirement plan I'm in (AZ state retirement system) matches 100% once you are fully vested at 10 years. They 100% match what you have in there at 10 years and then for all future contributions (ex: if I have 100k at 10 years I now have 200k).

I have no control over how much I contribute though. It's set by AZRS every year. Currently at 11% of what I make.
