How the 401(k) calculator works
Each year you contribute a share of your salary, up to the IRS limit, and your employer adds a match: for example 50% of what you put in, on up to 6% of your salary. The balance grows at your expected return, and contributions made during the year earn about half a year's return.
For 2026 you can defer up to $24,500, plus an $8,000 catch-up from age 50, or $11,250 at ages 60 to 63. Employee plus employer contributions are capped at $72,000.
Taking money out before 59½ usually costs income tax plus a 10% penalty, and you lose the growth that money would have earned.
