An employee is considering two job offers.

First offer: $74,000 yearly salary with a 6% matching 401k
Second offer: $75,000 yearly salary with a 5% matching 401k

The employee plans to stay at either job for at least 5 years, assumes there are no salary increases, and will make 401k contributions at the same rate the company matches. After 5 years, the total value of the first offer, including gross income and total 401k contributions, is $414,400.

Which job has the better overall pay structure, and by how much?
