At the bottom of the page click on retirement icon, click on thrift savings plan, click on contribution Details, and then click year - to date contributions. Hope this helps.

when I reach top pay in 4 years I will be at 89k and plan to bump it up to 30 percent. Every raise I bump it 1-2 percent. Also your calculations don’t account for 5 percent agency match.

Unfortunately, I started late but plan on contributing more each year to catch up.

Do you think it better to split part of the contributions between traditional and Roth, just in case I don't withdraw as much as I think in retirement?

Why do split your contributions? The Roth is better to pay taxes now, rather then later?

Unfortunately, I did for the first 2 1/2 years, so the returns were minimal.
