Employer Match in NFL PLAYER ANNUITY PROGRAM
An employer match is one of the most valuable benefits in any 401(k) plan — it is essentially free money added to your retirement savings. Your employer contributes additional funds based on a percentage of your own contributions. Missing out on the full match is one of the most common and costly retirement mistakes employees make.

Are You Leaving Dollars on the Table?
If you are not contributing enough to capture the maximum employer match, you are literally turning down part of your compensation. For many plans, this can mean thousands of dollars per year in lost employer contributions — money that would compound over decades.
Use the policy details and calculator below to find out exactly how much you need to contribute to capture every dollar of employer matching.

2025 IRS 401(k) Contribution Limits
The IRS sets annual limits on how much you and your employer can contribute to a 401(k) plan. Knowing these limits helps you maximize tax-advantaged savings. Here are the current limits:
| 2024 | 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Employee elective deferrals (pretax + Roth) | $23,000 | $23,500 |
| Employee + employer contributions combined | $69,000 | $70,000 |
| Catch-up contributions (age 50+) | $7,500 | $7,500 |
| Enhanced catch-up (ages 60–63, SECURE 2.0) | N/A | $11,250 |
The power of maxing out: If you contribute the full $23,500 annually for 20 years at a 10% average annual return, you would accumulate approximately $1,505,256. If you can maximize the combined employee+employer limit of $70,000 per year, that grows to roughly $4,480,385 over the same period — more than triple.
