More like 25% of the first 6%. So 1.5%.

“Best amount”? It all depends on your lifestyle but you should be saving ~20% of your salary every year. When I started I did 10% in my 401k and 10% to a savings/investment account. It all depends on when you think you’re going to have big expenditures (buying a house, car, wedding etc..)

It's confusing when you sign up because you can't tell if you are setting the % of your salary or a % of an individual check or month
