Uncle Sam matches your contributions in pay periods where you are contributing to the TSP. If there were 26 pay dates, you would contribute $693 per pay period to reach $18,000 in the final pay period of the year. Of course, if there were 27 pay dates, you would have one pay period where you were not contributing to the TSP and you would, therefore, not receive the 4% contribution that represents the match; you would receive the agency automatic 1% contribution.
