Each year: balance × (1 + 6%) + (you + match) × (1 + 3%)
you = 75,000 × 6% = 4,500 (2026 limit 24,500)
match = 75,000 × 6% × 50% = 2,250
After 37 years with 2% raises a year = 1,312,133

Questions people ask
How much can I put into a 401(k) in 2026?
$24,500 of your own money. From age 50 you can add $8,000 more, and at ages 60 to 63 the extra is $11,250. Employer contributions do not count toward your limit.
What does a 50% match up to 6% mean?
Your employer adds 50 cents for every dollar you put in, on the first 6% of your pay. Contributing less than 6% leaves part of that free money unclaimed.
Does this include fees and tax?
No. Use a return after fees, and remember that traditional 401(k) withdrawals are taxed as income in retirement.
