Employer Match
Money your employer adds when you contribute.
In plain language
Many workplace plans add a percentage of what you put in, up to a limit — a dollar-for-dollar match doubles your own contribution.
Why it matters
It's the rare case where ownership starts with money that isn't yours yet.
Put it to work
Own more. Owe less.
