- Well, if they limit it to 15% of earnings, you hit the 7500 maximum at 50K
- earnings. I agree with your original statement (since anybody can
- contribute up to 15% or ~7500 in '93), but I was wondering what other
- companies 401(k) programs' limits are like.
-
- Ours is 15%/7500 for '93, with no employer contribution. 3 funds to
- select from (one guaranteed, two mild equity funds).

- Thanks.
