401k limits for 2020 are: $57K + $6.5K (over 50 catch up) = $63.5K.

After the company contributions, I need to add another $17.9K from my paycheck to max out 401k contributions.

I realize the contribution percentage could change with a new contract, although the only modification I'd make is to give more flexibility for those that earn more than $285K (ie eliminate automatic spillage into VEBA).

Are there any errors in what I've written above?

Thanks in advance.
