I love that this has the ability to track multiple scenarios eg FIRE and LeanFIRE. I can see people using this to compare kids vs no kids as well.

I would love the ability to simulate 401k contributions assuming an annual max contribution increase. For example, I will often put into an investment returns calculator that I am contributing $20k per year to retirement, however 10 years from now the annual max will probably be over $30k.

PL assumes contribution limits increase over time to match inflation, so if you switch to visualizing results in actual currency (as opposed to today's currency), and you choose to contribute the max, you should see those nominal contributions increasing over time.

How can I alter the 401k match rate?

Employer Contribution is one of the inputs in the 401k cash-flow priority form, and you can use the More Options ellipsis to the right of that input to choose from several ways to model it.
