. X Full match: The employer fully matches an employee's contribution to the 401(k) account up to an amount set by law. For illustrative purposes, an employee earning $50,000 annually contributes $2,000 to her 401(k). Then, the company's matching contribution equals $2,000. Fixed dollar match: The employer deposits $1 for every $1 the employee contributes up to a specified limit, for instance, 5 percent of pay. One employee contributes 3 percent of her $100,000 pay equaling $3,000: (3 percent x $100,000). The employer contributes the same amount. Another employee contributes 10 percent of his $100,000 pay equaling $10,000: (10 percent x $100,000). In this case, the company deposits $5,000: (5 percent x $100,000) because the plan specifies a 5 percent matching contribution maximum. Variable dollar match: The employer's contribution decreases as an employee's contribution increases. For example, an employer might deposit $1 for every $1 on the first 3 percent of pay contributed by the employee, and 50 cents per dollar on the next 3 percent of pay. An employee who earns $100,000 annually contributes 6 percent to the 401(k) plan, equaling $6,000: (6 percent x $100,000). The employer contributes a total of $4,500: [($1 (3 percent $100,000))+ ($0.50 x (3 percent x $100,000))]. Variable dollar match: $1 per each $1 employee contribution on the first 2 percent of pay and 75 cents per $1 employee contribution for the next 3 percent of pay.
