Maximum 401(k) Match

[retbenser]

Can the 401(k) match exceed the deferral? What is the maximum?

For example: Deferral = $22,500 Can the match be $25,000? What is the maximum?

Thanks.

limited by 415 only. How do you get a deferral of $22,500?

and ACP test

On the deferral I'd assume that's a typo with $16.5K + $5.5K = $22K max.

Thanks. Typo.

A matching formula can be more than 100%. (Not very common, but it's possible.)

As correctly stated, 415 and ACP limits apply.
