How does the employer match work?Match is applied as match% of salary, capped at a typical ceiling — the tool assumes the match stops at 6% of salary, the most common plan design. Your plan's vesting schedule is separate.
Why subtract fees separately?A 0.5% annual fee on a 30-year 401(k) is tens of thousands of dollars. The tool nets fee off the gross return so the projection isn't fantasy.
Is the real balance too pessimistic?It's honest purchasing power: dividing by 3% inflation per year. Nominal looks bigger, but today's-$ is what you'll actually spend.
