Employee vs Employer Savings

Below is a table that illustrates which Savings in RightCapital are funded from the client's income, and which savings are funded by the employer / from outside the plan. It also lists where employee and employer contributions can be found in the Retirement > Cash Flows > Accounts tab. Retirement savings will be capped at the IRS contribution limits, which increase by your tax inflation assumption as they are projected into the future.
