Net assets came to $101,915 per participant in plan year 2024, well above the $50,295 median for defined contribution plans with 1,000 to 4,999 participants and well above the $62,303 median for defined contribution plans in manufacturing. The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.
The employer contributed $14.7M during the year, or $6,864 per active participant against a same-size median of $2,045; participants contributed $11.1M and $1.0M arrived as rollovers and other contributions. Benefits paid out totalled $47.2M.

Questions and answers
How big is Church & Dwight Co. , Inc. Savings and Profit Sharing Plan for Hourly Employees?
2,573 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Dec 2025, of whom 2,138 were active employees, with net assets of $285,947,277. Among defined contribution plans that places it in the 1,000 to 4,999 participants band, which held 10,207 plans in plan year 2024.
What does Church & Dwight Co., Inc. contribute per participant?
The filing reports $14,674,911 in employer contributions for the year, which is $6,864 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $2,045 in plan year 2024. Form 5500 reports the total only. It does not state the match formula, and the per-participant figure is an average, not any one person's contribution.
What fees does the plan pay and how do they compare?
Schedule C reports $244,246 in compensation to service provider organisations, $94.93 per participant or 0.09% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $82.08 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $223,702. Investment costs deducted inside mutual funds and other pooled vehicles are not itemised on Form 5500, so these figures are a floor rather than a full cost.
Who runs the plan?
The sponsor is Church & Dwight Co., Inc.. Recordkeeping or administration: The Vanguard Group, Inc.. Trustee or custodian: The Vanguard Group, Inc.. The financial statements were audited by Cohn Reznick LLP. Form 5500 also names the plan administrator's signer and other individuals; this site publishes organisations only.
Was the audit opinion unqualified?
The filing reports an unmodified (unqualified) opinion. Unmodified (formerly "unqualified") is the standard clean opinion.
How current is this, and does it show my balance?
This is the Form 5500 for the plan year 1 Jan 2025 to 31 Dec 2025, received by the Department of Labor on 29 Jul 2026. Filings are due seven months after the plan year ends, or nine and a half with an extension, so the public record always runs a year or more behind. It contains plan-level totals only: no individual balances, contributions or names of participants exist in the data.
