What Magnera puts in, and what the plan costs
What Magnera put into the plan, per active participant
$3.84
Magnera Corp put $3.84 into this plan for each of its 633 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 1,000–4,999 participants in industrial and materials manufacturing put in less per active participant than Magnera. The middle plan in that group of 766 reported $2,514. Industrial and materials manufacturing comes from business code 322100, which Magnera 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 Magnera 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.

What Magnera puts in
Not stated in the filing
The filing does not disclose a match formula.
The Form 5500 for this plan reports what Magnera actually paid in: the figure and its peer comparison are above. It is the whole employer side of the plan on one line, so it answers what went in rather than what the formula promises.

Vesting score
50 out of 100
How fast the employer’s money becomes yours. Higher than 2% 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: 0%, 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, 100%. The score is the average of those 7 readings.
Vesting, word for word
“For Corporate Group employees, Company matching contributions are subject to a graded vesting schedule through which a participant becomes fully vested after attaining five years of service as follows:”
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
62nd percentile
$104.34 per participant in plan-paid administrative cost, more expensive than 62% of plans with 1,000–4,999 participants.
What is Magnera's 401(k) match formula?

What is Magnera's 401(k) vesting schedule?

|---|---|
| Your own contributions | Immediate: always 100% yours |
