mgriffiths Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Hey guys, I am looking at some budget information and just had a question that I couldn't find the answer to online. Hypothetical job: $80k base salary + $20k bonus Employer offers a 3% 401k match. Does the 3% apply just to the base salary, or does it include the bonus as well. In other words, would the employer match be $2400 or $3000? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treejay Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 probably just the base, but ask them yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator ventana Posted July 31, 2016 Moderator Share Posted July 31, 2016 401k and 403b is federally mandated I am not sure of the answer, but I suspect it is one the TOTAL pay that you get, their are very strict rules on this and in general they include all income...

AbeTheBabe Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I just got my first real quarterly bonus and my 401K contribution along with my employers were both definitely higher than normal. I don't know if this would be the case for everyone though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
