About to sign McKinsey offer letter. It reads the firm will contribute 7.5% to my 401k. In the benefit summary doc, says 5% with 1% increase up to 10%. I’m confused! Which is it?

Just sign the damn offer

Reread the letter... Different things. 7.5% is their contribution. The other is an automatic deduction of 5% form your salary to 401k and increases 1% each year until 10%. You have control to change that.
