I think you have to do that calculation yourself.

Did you mean "simple" as in easy? Or, SIMPLE as in SIMPLE IRA plan? Any retirement plan through their company has a plan document which tells you the terms of matching. For instance, SIMPLE IRA might be 3% match (not more than this, and not exceeding the $ limit, of course). The software you are using doesn't know the employer's plan details.

You can read here:

And here is a limit calculator that gives you Solo 401(k), SIMPLE IRA and SEP IRA $ limit calculations:
