Employer matches often have a vesting schedule, so leaving early can mean leaving some of that match behind. Check your plan document before counting on the full amount.
401(k) Growth & Employer Match explained simply
A 401(k) is a work savings account for retirement. Many employers add free money on top of whatever you put in, that's the match.
For example
Your boss matches 50% of the first 6% you save. Save 6% of a $60,000 salary ($3,600) and your boss adds $1,800 for free.
