Citigroup capped the pay counted toward its 401(k) match, effective January 1, 2025. Pay counted toward the match was capped at $200,000. Through 2024 the match applied up to the IRS statutory compensation limit ($345,000 that year), so higher earners now receive a smaller maximum match.

What the filing says, word for word

The Company matching contribution was equal to 100% of the participant’s before-tax and/or Roth contributions up to 6% of the participant’s eligible compensation (up to the annual compensation maximum set by the Code) for eligible employees at all compensation levels. For Plan year ended December 31, 2024, Company matching contributions did not exceed the lesser of the participant’s contribution or 6% of the participant’s eligible compensation up to the statutory limit. Effective January 1, 2025, Company matching contributions did not exceed the lesser of the participant’s contribution or 6% of the participant’s eligible compensation up to $200,000. Catch‑up contributions are not subject to matching contributions. Participants must contribute to the Plan to receive Company matching contributions.
