This Contribution Maximizer Tool is designed to help you save as much as possible this year in our Savings Plan, up to the IRS limits.

The Tool suggests contribution rates as a percentage of eligible pay, taking into account contributions you make as well as those made by the Company.

As you decide how much you want to contribute to the Plan, remember that the Company match is calculated and deposited every pay period. To maximize the Company match, you should consider spreading your contributions out over the year.

The tool does not account for the Student Debt Retirement Match. If you’re eligible for the program, your employer will treat your monthly student debt payments as if they’re contributions to your retirement plan—helping you reach your company match.


As you use the Tool, it will help to review important assumptions and additional information and to have the following items available:

  • Your most recent pay statement. This can be found by visiting bausch.service-now.com/hrcentral. Click on "Manage My Pay, Time and Benefits". Select "View pay statement" in the Pay box on the Home page.
  • Contributions made to your Plan account so far this year. This can also be viewed on your most recent Pay Statement.
