need help figuring out proper sizing for voluntary after tax 401k contribution

(1/1)

MidWestLove:
Would resident experts be able to comment on below?

I am sole proprietor in qualified joint partnership (50/50)
My 401k contribution as employee is  18k  (pre-tax, but I do not think that matters for amounts)
My 25% contribution as employer is  11k (pre-tax)
My voluntary after tax contribution is 54 -(18 +11 )  = 25k

She also works part time for a non-profit and contributes 16k in 403b
Her 401k contribution is 2k (18k limit -16k employee contribution already made to qualified plan like 403b)
Her 25% contribution as employer is 11k (pre-tax)

What is her after tax contribution limit from the small business?
Is it 54k - 16k as employee in different job - 2k employee contribution  - 11k profit match  = 25 k  (same as mine)
or
is it  54k - 2k employee contribution -11k profit match = 41k

basically when calculating amount of voluntary after tax contribution for her do I need to worry about 16k 403b in a different part time job with different employer , for purposes of voluntary after tax calculation only ?


Thank you

Sibley:
Why are you putting after tax money in a 401k account? What's the benefit over using a taxable account?

walkwalkwalk:
The idea is he would convert the after tax portion to Roth

terran:
403b and 401k are considered together across employers, so you need to include the $16k as well as and match she receives from her employer.
