What match formulas are best?
{ back to top } Most matching formulas tend to match some percentage of the first 6% of compensation. Common formulas include 25% of the first 6% and 50% of the first 6%. A plan sponsor can also choose to make a discretionary matching contribution. With a discretionary contribution, the employer determines the match formula at the end of the year.
