USA 401(k) Retirement Calculator

Project your 401(k) balance at retirement, including employer match.

This is a projection assuming a constant annual return, contributed at the start of each year — actual investment returns fluctuate and are never guaranteed. It does not account for vesting schedules on employer contributions, fees, or taxes on withdrawal.

A 401(k) is a US employer-sponsored retirement account. This calculator projects your balance at retirement based on your current balance, ongoing contributions (yours and your employer's match) and an assumed annual return, and flags whether your contribution is within the current IRS annual limit.

Example

  • With the default values shown above, this calculator returns: Your Annual Contribution ≈ $4200.00; Employer Match (Annual) ≈ $2100.00; Projected Balance at Retirement ≈ $534910.42.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 2025 401(k) contribution limit?

Does employer match count toward my limit?

No — the $23,500 limit applies to your own contributions. Combined employee + employer contributions have a separate, much higher overall limit.
