If your employer doesn't offer a retirement plan, you can always start by putting money in a traditional IRA or Roth IRA. But if you have access to a 401(k) or other employer plan, and your 401(k) offers a matching contribution, that's usually the best place to start. For example, let's say you make $115,000 per year.
Calculating the employer match. Most employees contribute to their 401(k) as a percentage of their salary. 6% seems to be a common number, but it can be anything. So the first thing you need to do is find out your contribution rate if you don't already have that information handy. Next, find out how much your employer is willing to match. Some match dollar-for-dollar up to a certain percentage of your salary, and others match a certain percentage of your contributions up to a limit. For example, your employer may say that it matches 50% of employee contributions of up to 6% of salary..
