I am not sure I am following your question. To max out your contributions you can contribute 19.5 (actually need to check the 2021 limit). To get the most match, it depends on how the match and if you are new do the have a phase in of matching. I can help if you let me know how they match or I am sure someone else from Deloitte can help.

2021 is also 19.5 plus 6.5 catch up (age-based).

Depends if you want to save it upfront or evenly. I like to use a higher percentage than the straight line division so I typically max out my contributions by August

Are you asking what you need to contribute to get the max employer contribution? If so, it’s 6% to get the 1.25% employer match (0.25% match for ever percent contributed, maxed at 6% employee contribution). If set up your % in vanguard and your salary plus applicable bonus and other compensation will have the 6% contribution.

If you decide to max out your 401k before the end of the year, make sure you still get the match from Deloitte for the rest of the year. With a base of 200k, It sounds like you’ll need to contribute ~8% to reach the 19500 max. With that said, bonuses etc are usually taxed at a higher rate so if you could direct towards 401k, that’s ideal, some employees offer this, some don’t. I would recommend checking.
