    Default Just one way to maximize Employer Match

    Just checking...
    If you want to extract the maximum employer match (e.g. 5%) you have to contribute in all pay periods, right? Put another way, it would be stupid to contribute the max, 15K, as fast as possible and get it over with by August, because then the employer match would stop as well, and the annual contrib would be less than 5%, right?

    And you want the benefit of dollar cost averaging - never knowing where the ball will land is fun. Especially when it's rolling down hill - shares add up quicker that way. Good luck.
