When an empoyer offers 401k matching, they are guaranteeing that they will match a certain percentage of your contributions. A common match is 50 cents on the dollar. That means if you put one dollar into your 401k plan, they will match your contribution by putting 50 cents in. You just made 50% on your investment!
