Do you want 10% of your pay or 10% of your max contribution?
Again, that 18K is your max contribution. Once you hit that, they will still pay their match on the 5% the rest of the year. You'll get it in a lump sum deposit during the 1st quarter of the following year. Call Fidelity if you don't believe me.
