What ConocoPhillips puts in, and what the plan costs
What ConocoPhillips put into the plan, per active participant
$22,070
ConocoPhillips put $22,070 into this plan for each of its 6,894 active participants in plan year 2024. This is the whole employer side of the plan: matching money, profit sharing, non-elective and safe-harbor contributions, and reallocated forfeitures. The Form 5500 does not separate them, so this is what the employer put in and not the match.
Nothing among plans with 5,000+ participants in oil, gas and mining put in more per active participant than ConocoPhillips. The middle plan in that group of 31 reported $7,448. Oil, gas and mining comes from business code 211120, which ConocoPhillips entered on its own Form 5500. Sponsors pick that code themselves, so a code that does not describe what the employer does ranks the plan against the wrong companies.
Matched to this employer by sponsor name, not by an identifier stated in the filing. This record could cover another plan of the same employer.
What this figure cannot separate: how much ConocoPhillips pays, and how much it puts in
This is dollars, not a rate. A Form 5500 carries no payroll, so the figure reflects both how much the employer puts in and how much the employer pays: two plans running the same formula report different amounts when one pays better. Crossing the peer group with industry holds most of that difference still, and none of it disappears.
This is one plan year, not an average. A true-up, a plan merger or a one-off contribution moves a single year on its own.

The $22,070 above is the Form 5500 figure for plan year 2024, and it counts every employer dollar on one line. ConocoPhillips also files a Form 11-K, which states what the employer contributes for plan year 2025: the card below reads $2,970 a year at a $49,500 salary, and the same filing states employer contributions made outside the match. That second figure is what the formula pays one worker on that salary, and not an amount either filing reports. The two figures cover different plan years and measure different things, so neither one is the other one corrected.
What ConocoPhillips puts in
$2,970
a year, at a $49,500 salary.
Once the worker contributes 1% of pay, the employer adds 6% of pay, whatever the worker puts in above that.
The match paragraph, word for word
“Employees who participate in the Plan and contribute at least 1 percent of their eligible pay receive a 6 percent company cash match with a potential company discretionary cash contribution of up to 6 percent. For the plan year ended December 31, 2025, a company discretionary cash contribution of 3 percent was approved for January through June and 3 percent was approved for July through December.”
What you contribute to collect all of it
Contribute at least 1% of your pay to collect the full match.
That is $495 a year at a $49,500 salary, and it scales with your own.
Vesting score
100 out of 100
How fast the employer’s money becomes yours. Higher than 48% of the 253 schedules we have scored.
It measures vesting speed and nothing else. It says nothing about the size of the match, what the plan charges, or the funds inside it.
Share of the employer's money that is the worker's at hire and at each of the first 6 anniversaries: 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%. The score is the average of those 7 readings.
Vesting, word for word
“Participants are immediately vested in their own contributions, company match and discretionary contributions. Participants in the CRC are 100% vested after three years of service with the Company.”
The wait before the match starts and the year-end true-up appear above when the filing states them. Neither is part of the score, and a filing that is silent on one of them is not a plan without it.
What the plan costs, against plans of its size
84th percentile
$102.18 per participant in plan-paid administrative cost, more expensive than 84% of plans with 5,000+ participants.
What is ConocoPhillips' 401(k) match formula?
ConocoPhillips' 401(k) employer money is a fixed contribution rather than a match: 6% of pay, paid to everyone who contributes at least 1% themselves. A threshold contribution is all or nothing at one contribution rate, which is not the same as a match on every dollar.
| Contribution formula | 6% of pay if you contribute at least 1% |
|---|---|
| Maximum employer contribution | 6% of compensation |
| Paid in company stock | No, paid in cash or per your investment elections |
| Conditions | Employees must contribute at least 1 percent of eligible pay to receive the 6 percent company cash match; the match is paid in cash. |
| Other employer contribution | Company discretionary cash contribution of up to 6 percent of eligible pay; for the plan year ended December 31, 2025, 3 percent was approved for January through June and 3 percent for July through December |
| Other employer contribution | Company Retirement Contribution (CRC) of 6 percent for new employees, rehires, and employees who opted out of the Cash Balance Plan; requires no employee contributions |
At a $60,000 salary, contributing at least 1% ($600) earns an employer contribution of 6% of pay, or $3,600.
What the filing says, word for word

For the plan year ended December 31, 2025, a company discretionary cash contribution of 3 percent was approved for January through June and 3 percent was approved for July through December.”

What is ConocoPhillips' 401(k) vesting schedule?
ConocoPhillips vests the employer match immediately: 100% is yours as soon as it is paid in. Nothing is forfeited when you leave, which is not true of the two schedules that vest over time.
| Employer match vesting | Immediate: employer match is 100% vested when contributed |
|---|---|
| Your own contributions | Immediate: always 100% yours |
| Other employer contributions | Discretionary contributions are immediately vested; Company Retirement Contribution (CRC) participants are 100% vested after three years of service with the Company |
Vesting, word for word

Who can join ConocoPhillips' 401(k), and is enrollment automatic?
ConocoPhillips' filing does not mention automatic enrollment, which is not the same as the plan having none.
| Plan entry | Generally, active employees of ConocoPhillips Company and its subsidiaries on the direct U.S. dollar payroll |
|---|---|
| Automatic enrollment | Not mentioned in the filing (not proof of absence) |
Eligibility, word for word
