Actually, employer contributions do not count towards the $18k maximum per year in contributions. This is the specific advantage of having a 401k match in the first place, as it allows employees to have more tax deferred savings than otherwise possible.

Can also go up to $53K with after tax employee contributions, which can be rolled out into a Roth IRA upon separation from the employer.
