If I contribute 100% of my paycheck to my 401k, will my payroll taxes (federal, state and local) be zero, increasing my tax liability at the end of the year?

Unless you make only 19k per year, you can’t contribute 100%

Then yes, you would likely have additional tax due. But, you could fill a new W-4 and catch up through additional income tax withholding.

Yes, there will be nothing to withhold on and you will owe 7.65% of your gross salary for the missed withholding.

I’d be a little surprised if your employer allowed you to do that. The have a liability to withhold the social security and Medicare on the whole amount. Would think they would cap around 90% to ensure that they can withhold Ss+Medicare+any state requirements

I have heard several people use this theory to front load all their contributions at the beginning of the year. Not super in common. Try to post this in the personal investment bowl.

Is it a red flag as a candidate to ask if a company offers maternity leave? I was recently laid off, so I wasn't expecting to lose my job. We're planning on trying for a baby in the next year or so, so it's really important to me that my next job offers paid maternity leave.

The issue is that it's so rarely advertised on company web sites, but ultimately better maternity leave would sway my decision for a job. Is there a way to ask this tactfully? Or without raising red flags?

Had multiple promising interviews the past 7 months but no job offers :( Looking for fully remote benefits or HR generalist type roles paying >80k. 6.5 years of total HR experience and 3.5 in benefits. Bachelors and PHR. Any leads are superrrrr appreciated!!

I just logged in for open enrollment and see that my benefit costs are increasing quite a bit. Family of 4 - medical/dental/vision will be about $345/pay period plus whatever I contribute to my HSA. Is this the norm now or is this way too much? We are also on an income based rate plan and I recently crossed into the bottom of the most expensive tier so it’s an even bigger hit over the normal YoY increase.

Anyone have perspective on how MBB (specifically Bain) benefits are better than big 4? I heard Bain contributes 4.5% of salary to your 401k regardless of any employee contributions, which is great. Any other big perks that make their benefits package superior to others (eg. Big 4)?
