It's 12/31 @ 5:51am ET, Queue the 401k Match Not Yet Here complaints

People are probably fuming that the matches aren't there as soon as they wake up.

I maxed out at $26K and got a 6% match on my base and bonus which was over $12K - you may want to check your math.

What I was given was not 6% of my salary plus bonus. It was lower by about $1,000. Not sure the math they are doing, but if I put in 6% of my salary, I feel I should at least see a figure close to my contributions. I also shut off contributions at bonus time so that would be $0 for bonus. Had the winter weather yesterday knocking out power so will call HR today to see if they can explain.

@2wmn+1ezxLi8u no, it’s not salary bro. It’s certified compensation which includes things like your bonus

They match 6% of your salary, not your contribution and it’s excluded from the irs limits.

Poster with the “received 11000 company match. If the IRS Max is 26000 and WF only matches within IRS limits that is amazing that you got 11000

Got my 11000. Thanks WF. I lost a 35 percent return on it over this past year. Losers.

Yes.. you can move it on Monday
Suggest you move it quick
After a 60% rally, WFC is going to be flat or down for a while

“All I know is that Wells Fargo stock better not crash between now and January 12, when the 401k contribution converts from WFC stock to the existing allocation.”

Why January 12? Can’t you move it on Monday? I know it processes after the markets close, but that’s still one day for it to change prices instead of 8…

Is it normal for them to come in the coming days instead of today?

This annual match/one time policy does suck! My company (a different one - that I left in Oct) does this too. Major lost opportunity cost. And since I was not there Dec 31. I get zero match for the entire year - but it was still worth leaving this being one reason.

We lost an approx 30% appreciation
WFC went up 60% in 2021. If we had been awarded the shares every quarter we would have seen appreciation
As it stands now it's ZERO

@g-y+1ezxLi8u,

Yes, it is 6% of base plus bonus.

Technically, it is a dollar for dollar match with a cap at 6%. So, if you agree for 6% of your pay to go to your 401k and leave it at that contribution level for the whole year then it will come out of both your base and bonus. Therefore your match would be that exact same amount which is 6% of your base and bonus.

A little off topic but is the 1 percent based on base salary or base plus bonus. I know 75 is the max salary for it. Thanks!

Mine was 6% of base plus bonus. I assumed it would be 6% of base only.

Maybe you should be working for a company that deposits your 401k match every 2 weeks like a normal good company does...

WFC had a 60% return in 2021
But I very much doubt we would see those kind of returns in 2022

The money goes into your account and they buy the stock when the market opens. Hopefully we get in at $48.10 or thereabouts and it runs up a few dollars.

It showed up under transactions.
Hoping it allows a transfer today itself.
Planning to transfer to Nasdaq. Pelosi bought a ton of calls on tech stocks. She must know that legislation to stymie tech stocks will be blocked. :)
