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.
