110 retirement plans in soap, cleaning compound, & toilet preparation mfg with 100 or more participants filed Form 5500 for plan year 2024 (93 defined contribution, 17 defined benefit). All Form 5500 pension filers in the group reported 352,678 participant records and $56.8B in net assets.
The median defined contribution plan held $84,449 per participant, well above the national median of $53,031, and its employer put in $2,565 per active participant (national: $2,174). Among plans reporting Schedule C compensation the median was $119 per participant against $123 nationally.

Questions and answers
How many retirement plans are there in soap, cleaning compound, & toilet preparation mfg?
110 plans with 100 or more participants filed Form 5500 for plan year 2024, out of 133 pension plans on the full form. Smaller plans file Form 5500-SF and are counted separately where shown.
What is the typical 401(k) balance in soap, cleaning compound, & toilet preparation mfg?
The median defined contribution plan reported $84,449 in net assets per participant (middle half of plans: $32,431 to $129,392); nationally it was $53,031. This is a plan-level average that includes former employees, not a typical person's balance.
What do employers contribute in soap, cleaning compound, & toilet preparation mfg?
The median defined contribution plan received $2,565 in employer contributions per active participant, against $2,174 nationally. Plans with no employer contribution are included at zero.
What are average 401(k) fees in soap, cleaning compound, & toilet preparation mfg?
Among defined contribution plans that report any Schedule C compensation, the median was $119 per participant and 0.16% of net assets (nationally $123 and 0.26%). Schedule C leaves out fund expense ratios and fees the employer pays, so it understates total cost.

Form 5500 annual reports in the EBSA research files, with filings received through 24 Aug 2026. Medians are computed by this site across plans with 100 or more participants.
