here are other plans, like an SEP that would suit you better...and considering your asking...I doubt your corporation has established a 401k...which has a lot of qualifications and administrative costs.

In 2007 the total of both employee and employer contributions is limited to the lesser of 100% of your compensation or $45,000 - that's an increase of $1,000 from 2006. Once again, in 2009 these limits will be adjusted for inflation and moved-up in $1,000 increments. In fact, total contributions in 2008 were increased to $46,000. This total contribution limit includes pre-tax and after-tax contributions. We've outlined these 401k limits for you in general terms. The rules for 401k plans are complex and they depend on a number of factors including your salary, overall employee participation, and pre-tax versus after-tax contributions. Questions specific to your 401k plan can be addressed by your employer's program administrator.

What is the maximum 401k contribution per month?

There is no limit set by IRS on a per month basis, however there is an annual limit to your contributions. Some employers do create restrictions on how much of your salary you can contribute, but that varies from employer to employer. Assuming that you want to maximize your 401k for the year and you want to contribute an even amount per month, then you would contribute $16,500/12 = $1,375 per month. This does not include your employer match.
