<prompt> Human: Good morning. I am a 29 year old male working as a home health physical therapist for a nation wide company. I am paid weekly and contributing 10 of my weekly pay tax-free into my 401k. My first question is as follows: if I am saving 10 each week is this the same thing as someone saying 20 biweekly? I ask because most things I have read about retirement savings is to save 15-20 of your pay and just want to make sure I am on track for that. Secondly, I am coming up on one year of employment with this company. At one year my company will start to match 0.50 for each 1, up to 5 of my salary. I am paid per patient visit so I do not have a set salary. Therefore, my question is as follows...how is the 5 of my salary determined?Thank you for your help to answer these questions.  <response>: Question 1: No. You are only saving 10. As an example, lets say you make 500 each week. 10 of this amount is 50. Someone making the same amount on a bi-weekly basis would get paid 1,000 500 x 2. 10 of biweekly pay would be 100 and 20 would be 200. Try to increase your contribution 1 every six months until you get to 15.Question 2: The company will calculate your match based on the amount of your paycheck each week. If you make 300 one week, the match for that pay cycle will be 15 300 x .05. If you make 500 the next week, the match for that pay cycle will be 25 500 x .05
