<prompt> Human: Hello pf, Ive recently subscribed and have been a big fan of all thats here. Hopefully you guys can help me out with this one as I have been unable to find any help in the FAQs or anywhere else online. So here it is:I have been contributing 7 to my companies Roth 401k for the past 2 years, which they match 6 give an additional 1 whether or not I contribute anything. Obviously putting it into a Roth, my contributions are post tax and correct me if Im wrong the companies contributions are pre-tax. I was wondering if I am losing out on their matching amount. For example: fake numbers for easy calculations Say Im in the 25 tax bracket and I make 100 post tax per week. So 7 post tax goes into the account from me while 7 pretax comes from the company for a total of 14 half of which is taxed half of which is not. So if I withdrew I would get 7 .757 12.25If I contributed to a traditional 401k using the same information from above that would mean my pretax paycheck is 133.33 per week. So if I gave 7 pretax I would contribute 9.33 per week and the company would match me pretax for a total of 18.66 per week. So if I withdrew also at that same 25 tax bracket I would get .7518.66 14 Even if I moved up to the 28 tax bracket I would get .7218.66 13.44 which is still more than the Roth account is at under the 25 tax bracket. I thought traditional and Roth 401ks are supposed to be the same if you stay in the same tax bracket? I know Im not accounting for any interest gains but I want to know if I am missing something here. Should I switch to a traditional 401k or stay with the Roth? ThanksEdit: thank you everyone! This sub is awesome! As many of you pointed out I was incorrectly taking the percent out of my net pay when I should have been taking it out of the gross pay. Problem solved!  <response>: Whatever dollar amount you put in your Roth 401k gets matched by your employer into a traditional 401k account. You arent missing out on anything if you are contributing enough to get the full match. There is no mechanism to adjust matching for Roth contributions, and theres no reason to anyways.
