This is a very important point because taxes affect decisions around money.
For example, the ability to contribute to a 401k plan can defer $18,500 a year from taxes per person (more if over age 50, and more if there is a company match). For someone with a $130k gross, the employer having a 401k plan or not could affect the choice of which job they choose.

- dlp211 8y agoIn what world are 401k limits low? Between you and your employer, you can contribute up to $55.5k/yr to a 401k, more if you are over a certain age, I think it's 50.
- muzz 8y agoI should have said "per employee" not "per person" which could be misconstrued as "per household member". As the other commenter pointed out, why do you think 401k limits are low?
