Say I have a 50% contribution match from my employer. For every $2 I contribute into my 401k my employer will add their own $1.
Some employers will force you to contribute a percentage of your paycheck towards your 401k, others will allow you to contribute up to a percentage of your paycheck, not all employers match though and not at the same rate. I believe my employer allows me to contribute up to 60% of my paycheck if I wanted (until the annual IRS limit is reached) but they will only match 50% of whatever dollar amount I send to the 401k account.
IRS will only let a person add $22,500 in 2023, which means if I max out my contribution my employer will add $11,250 for a total annual contribution of $33,750.
The IRS will only allow me and my employer combined to contribute $66,000 in 2023 to my 401k. I am unable to hit that $66,000 limit because my employer doesn’t match 293% of my contribution.
I got lucky in certain areas and I try not to forget that.
Either way if it’s a contribution match limit or a paycheck limit, it has a green check mark next to it, so it’s gotta be an improvement on where they were. I’m all for bringing everyone up and I’m happy for them.
From the supplemental agreement regarding the personal savings plan (exhibit G, available at uaw.org/gm2023)
“The Company shall increase its contribution
to an Eligible Employee’s Account from 6.4% to 10%
of each such Employee’s Eligible Weekly Earnings with such increase to be implemented by
December 31 2023, with contributions made
retroactive to October 23, 2023”
Man, that’s really good
Compared to zero, yes, but employers can, and I know some that actually do, match up to 100%.
Edit: looks like there are a few that match 200%
Oh I thought it meant they matched 100% up to 10% of your paycheck. That’s how my work does it but only up to like 3% and then 50% for another 3%

That’s cool that it’s uncapped for you. Lots of free money if you can make it work with your budget

Based on what someone else said, this isn’t a match but a straight up contribution. So if that is to be believed, it’s even better…

Well that’s sure neat. Thanks for clearing that up
