What is the maximum contribution an employer may make to an individuals 401k on an annual basis?
The maximum contribution an employer can make to an individual's 401(k) plan is governed by IRS rules and depends on several factors, including the overall contribution limits, the employee's compensation, and specific plan provisions.
As of my last update in 2023, here’s how it works:
Overall Contribution Limit: The total contribution to a 401(k) plan (including both employee and employer contributions) is capped at a specific limit set by the IRS. For 2023, this limit is $66,000 for individuals under 50 years old, and $73,500 for individuals aged 50 or older (which includes the $7,500 catch-up contribution allowed for older employees).
Percentage of Compensation: Employer contributions are also limited to 100% of the employee's compensation. This means that the total annual contribution from both the employee and employer cannot exceed 100% of the employee's salary.
Employer-Specific Plan Provisions: Within these limits, the actual amount an employer contributes can vary. It depends on the company's specific 401(k) plan provisions. Some employers match employee contributions up to a certain percentage of their salary, while others might contribute a fixed percentage regardless of what the employee contributes.
Highly Compensated Employees: Special rules can apply to highly compensated employees to ensure fairness and compliance with IRS nondiscrimination requirements. This might limit the amount that can be contributed to their 401(k) plans.
It's important to check your specific 401(k) plan details and stay updated with IRS guidelines, as these figures can change annually due to inflation adjustments and policy changes.

401(k) plans are a special kind of profit sharing plan. From the perspective of the IRS, once an employee is eligible for a profit sharing plan, and has passed the plan entry date, that person is a participant in the plan even if no money is ever deposited for the individual.
Many employers have automatic enrollment plans that require an employee to take action if they don't want to participate. Employees who ignore the enrollment materials, or forget about the information provided, may feel as though they were forced to participate. When an employee chooses not to respond, he or she has essentially elected to participate at the default rate chosen by the employer.
Should I roll over my 401k if I change jobs?
You can rollover your 401K into any other qualified plan even if one is not offered by another employer. An employer offered plan is nice because there are generally no investment minimums. You can also look for an investment broker or ask at your local bank for options. It is usually just a matter of signing some forms after you have picked the fund.
In a traditional IRA you money is held by a custodian. You investment choices are limited to those that the custodians allow you to.
Self directed IRA's allow you more investment choices. You still need the
custodian, but they allow you more investment choices. You request a check for a specific investment like real estate and they'll send you a check.
Then there are those that give you full control of your money and give you check writing privileges, like the broad financial Ultimate IRA. You don't need to make any request from custodians, you simply write a check.
There are some prohibited transactions, like investing in collectors items.
