How 401(k) Retirement Projections Work
A defined-contribution 401(k) plan builds wealth through three compounding drivers: regular employee payroll deductions, company matching contributions, and long-term investment growth. Our scenarios model these variables using the exact mathematical engine of our 401(k) Calculator:
- •Elective Deferral Cap: Employee contributions are subject to statutory annual limits ($24,500 for the 2026 tax year).
- •Employer Matching Formula: Matches are modeled as a percentage of salary matched up to a specified percentage cap (e.g., 50% match up to 6% of pay).
- •Beginning-of-Year Compounding: Contributions occur throughout the year and are assumed to compound alongside the annual investment return rate.
- •Nominal Pre-Tax Values: Projections represent pre-tax, nominal account balances before future retirement distributions, taxes, or inflation erosion.
