FA-59051 / Payroll withholding rules / Open access
401(k) deferral limit with catch-up: remaining room report · case 01
Reported remaining deferral room ignores year-to-date contributions.
ROOT CAUSE
Remaining room is measured from the full annual cap rather than the room left before this paycheck.
VERIFIED REPAIR
Restore the contract rule at the remaining room report step: use `return [d, room - d]`.
Unsuccessful approach: The attempt reports room before this deferral, overstating what is left.
Case contract
Input {gross, pct, ytd, birth_year, year, net_available}. Requested deferral = gross*pct/100 half-up. Annual cap 23,000.00 plus 7,500.00 catch-up when the employee turns 50 or older during the year. Deferral = min(request, max(0, cap - ytd), net_available). Return [deferral, remaining room after it].
Why this case matters
Deferral limits apply to the calendar year of the age milestone and cannot exceed pay available after taxes.

Verification & scope
A deterministic teaching model of a stipulated payroll rule with toy thresholds and rates. It makes no claim of conformance to any tax authority, statute or jurisdiction and is not payroll software. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
