What your employer's retirement plan reported
The Form 5500 record of every employer retirement plan with 100 or more participants: assets, participants, contributions, fees and providers. Each plan is set beside the medians for plans of the same size, industry and type.
Form 5500 information is as filed by the plan administrator with the Department of Labor and may be amended. Figures reflect the plan year shown, not current balances. Form 5500 holds plan-level totals only; no individual account exists in the data. Filings received by the Department of Labor through 24 Aug 2026.
The median plan, plan year 2024
| Plans with 100+ participants | DC: 25th | DC: median | DC: 75th | DB: median |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Net assets per participant | $26,065 | $53,031 | $98,963 | $86,234 |
| Employer contributions per active participant | $1,015 | $2,174 | $4,117 | $10,244 |
| Schedule C compensation per participant | $54.08 | $123 | $226 | $344 |
| Administrative expenses per participant | $46.21 | $116 | $218 | $527 |
DC: defined contribution plans such as 401(k) and 403(b) (66,947 plans). DB: defined benefit pensions (5,375). How these are computed: methodology. What they leave out: what Form 5500 shows and does not.
