Most 401ks do not allow you to use your personal savings to contribute to the account. The only acceptable form of monies either come directly from your payroll or as a rollover into the account. Typically, companies do not allow this simply because they don't accept "After Tax" monies. The monies that come directly from your paycheck are taken out on a "Before Tax" basis however, the funds in your personal savings you have already paid taxes on.
