How to Use This Calculator
- Step 1 - Enter your Salary: Input your current Monthly Base Salary (before taxes). This is the number used to calculate your contribution and the company match.
- Step 2 - Choose your Contribution: Select what percentage (%) you want to save each month. Tip: Look at the "Roadmap" below to see how much the company will match at your current tenure!
- Step 3 - Enter your Years of Service: Input your Total Completed Years with the company. Note: The calculator uses this to determine your Match Tier (10%–100%) and your Vesting Eligibility (0%, 50%, or 100%).
Employee Savings Plan Roadmap
- Year 1: Your company match begins. You now earn an extra 10% on every dollar you save.
- Years 2 – 5: Your match rate climbs by 10% every year. By Year 5, the company is matching 50% of your savings.
- Year 5: The First Big Jump (vesting milestone), you are now 50% Vested. This means you officially "own" half of all company contributions made to your account.
- Years 6 – 9: Your (acceleration) match rate increases even faster by 15% every year.
- Year 10: The Gold Standard (full ownership) you hit the ultimate milestone. You are now 100% Vested and receive a 100% Company Match. Every dollar you save is instantly doubled by the company, and you own it all.
Plan Benefits
- Company Match: Every employee contribution triggers a company match, providing an immediate return on savings from the first year of service.
- Tenure-Based Rewards: Match rates increase progressively with years of service, reaching 100% at Year 10, rewarding long-term commitment with proportionally greater employer contributions.
- Automated Contributions: Contributions are deducted directly from payroll, ensuring consistent savings without manual intervention.
- Accelerating Growth: As the match rate increases over time, the compound effect of employer contributions grows significantly, doubling personal contributions by Year 10.
