What LOUISIANA-PACIFIC puts in, and what the plan costs
What LOUISIANA-PACIFIC put into the plan, per active participant
$6,858
LOUISIANA-PACIFIC CORP put $6,858 into this plan for each of its 2,803 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.
LOUISIANA-PACIFIC put in more per active participant than 93% of plans with 1,000–4,999 participants in industrial and materials manufacturing. The middle plan in that group of 766 reported $2,514. Industrial and materials manufacturing comes from business code 321210, which LOUISIANA-PACIFIC 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.
What this figure cannot separate: how much LOUISIANA-PACIFIC 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 $6,858 above is the Form 5500 figure for plan year 2024, and it counts every employer dollar on one line. LOUISIANA-PACIFIC CORP also files a Form 11-K, which states the match formula for plan year 2025: the card below reads $2,475 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 LOUISIANA-PACIFIC puts in
$2,475
a year, at a $49,500 salary.
The match paragraph, word for word
“LP matches contributions at 100% of the first 4% and 50% of the next 2% of eligible compensation deferred. LP can also make a discretionary profit sharing contribution. During the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, discretionary profit-sharing contributions were $6.2 million and $7.3 million, respectively. Participants may direct the investment of their contributions and the employer contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. Participants must be employed on the last day of the Plan year to receive profit-sharing contributions.”
What you contribute to collect all of it
Contribute at least 6% of your pay to collect the full match.
That is $2,970 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
“Vesting - Participants are immediately 100% vested in their own contributions and in employer matching contributions. A participant shall become fully vested in profit sharing contributions to the Plan upon the first of the following events to occur while employed by LP: •Completion of three years of service •Death •Attainment of age 65 •Involuntary termination due to job elimination”
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
89th percentile
$174.60 per participant in plan-paid administrative cost, more expensive than 89% of plans with 1,000–4,999 participants.
What is LOUISIANA-PACIFIC's 401(k) match formula?
LOUISIANA-PACIFIC's 401(k) employer match tops out at 5% of pay. A tiered formula pays its best rate on the first slice of pay and less on the next, which is how the rate steps down.
| Match formula | 100% (dollar-for-dollar) of the first 4% of pay |
|---|---|
| then | 50% of the next 2% of pay |
| Maximum employer match | 5% of compensation |
| Conditions | The maximum match is 5% of eligible compensation (100% of the first 4% plus 50% of the next 2%) |
| Other employer contribution | Discretionary profit sharing contribution ($6.2 million for 2025), requiring employment on the last day of the Plan year |
At a $90,000 salary, contributing 6% ($5,400) earns the full employer match of $4,500 for the year.

What is LOUISIANA-PACIFIC's 401(k) vesting schedule?
LOUISIANA-PACIFIC 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.

|---|---|
| Your own contributions | Immediate: always 100% yours |
| Other employer contributions | Profit sharing contributions become fully vested upon the first of the following while employed by LP: completion of three years of service, death, attainment of age 65, or involuntary termination due to job elimination |
