If your employer has a match program, you should at least invest enough that you get the maximum employer contribution. Anything beyond that should be based on what you can afford given your lifestyle and future spending plans.

It really is just a choice on what you can afford
we started with 5 percent and can raise it up to 50 percent of our income
you can always decrees it if it is to much
but to start I would go 5-10 percent then adjust as you go

I personally put 3% and its match 50% by the company.....if you can put 15% - 20% you should be good....over a year my 3% is at about $1500
Honest and fair
You are only allowed to save up to $15K per year.
If you can save that much then you should.
Otherwise, save 10 - 15% of your salary.
If you are over 50 you can make a catch-up contribution which I think is another $10K.

Depends on how much the company matches & how much can you afford to put into it. We put 15% and the company matches up to 10%. It all depends on what you can realistically afford to put in every paycheck.

At least what your company will match. The more the better. Experts advise 10%.

It really depends on your personal needs. there are thing's to consider like your age, how much you make and things like how you want to live when you retire. I get paid weekly and I started with 4% per pay check to get started and raised it later when I learned more about who to invest in. There are differant types of 401k plans and that also is something to consider when investing in a 401k.
hope this helps,

Usually you can put up to 20%. I found putting 10% in my account my take home pay remained about the same.

I usually do about 10-15% of my weekly pay, and I diversify my investments with no more than 50% in company stocks. I tend to go with mutual funds, and bonds. There may be an option in your plan to actually get a broker, and invest in the market (NYSE).
