Plan year is the year in which the plan year began. The drop in large plans from 2023 follows a rule change: the 100-participant line now counts participants with account balances, so many plans moved to the short form.

Questions and answers

How many retirement plans are there in engine, turbine & power transmission equipment mfg?

109 plans with 100 or more participants filed Form 5500 for plan year 2024, out of 134 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 engine, turbine & power transmission equipment mfg?

The median defined contribution plan reported $63,564 in net assets per participant (middle half of plans: $44,042 to $124,457); 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 engine, turbine & power transmission equipment mfg?

The median defined contribution plan received $3,190 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 engine, turbine & power transmission equipment mfg?

Among defined contribution plans that report any Schedule C compensation, the median was $152 per participant and 0.22% 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.

Where does this come from?

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.
