Questions and answers
How many retirement plans are there in navigational, measuring, electromedical, & control instruments mfg?
145 plans with 100 or more participants filed Form 5500 for plan year 2024, out of 223 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 navigational, measuring, electromedical, & control instruments mfg?
The median defined contribution plan reported $101,127 in net assets per participant (middle half of plans: $62,007 to $148,471); 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 navigational, measuring, electromedical, & control instruments mfg?
The median defined contribution plan received $3,320 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 navigational, measuring, electromedical, & control instruments mfg?
Among defined contribution plans that report any Schedule C compensation, the median was $159 per participant and 0.18% 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.
