What Is a 401(k)?

A 401(k) is a US employer-sponsored retirement savings plan that allows employees to contribute a portion of their salary before taxes. Many employers offer matching contributions, which boosts retirement savings significantly.

How This 401(k) Calculator Works

This calculator estimates your retirement savings by considering:

  • Employee contribution percentage
  • Employer match
  • Annual salary growth
  • Compound investment returns

Why Employer Match Matters

Employer matching is essentially free money. Failing to contribute enough to get the full match means leaving money on the table.
