How to use the 401(k) Calculator

Project your 401(k) balance at retirement with employer match and salary growth.

  1. 1 Enter your age, retirement age, salary and current balance.
  2. 2 Enter your contribution, the employer match and its limit.
  3. 3 Enter salary growth and return, and read the projected balance.

Example and practical tips

At 30 with a 75,000 salary, contributing 8% with a 50% match up to 6% can grow to well over a million by 65 at 7% returns.

Frequently asked questions

What are the 2026 limits?

$24,500 in employee contributions, plus an $8,000 catch-up from age 50 and $11,250 at ages 60–63.

Yes, if you can. The match is extra pay you lose by contributing less.
