The 401(k) employer match
Not stated in this filing

What Masco puts in, and what the plan costs
What Masco put into the plan, per active participant
$6,194
Masco Corporation put $6,194 into this plan for each of its 8,523 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.
Masco put in more per active participant than 81% of plans with 5,000+ participants in industrial and materials manufacturing. The middle plan in that group of 178 reported $3,585. Industrial and materials manufacturing comes from business code 332510, which Masco 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 Masco 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 Masco puts in
Not stated in the filing
The filing does not disclose a match formula.
The Form 5500 for this plan reports what Masco 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.
Two places state the terms in full: your plan’s Summary Plan Description, which your employer must provide on request, and your recordkeeper’s site, which for this plan is Fidelity NetBenefits ↗.
What you contribute to collect all of it
Not stated in the filing
The filing does not state the contribution rate that collects the full employer contribution.
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 contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Participants are also immediately vested in the Company matching contribution plus earnings thereon. Vesting in Company profit sharing contributions occurs after three years of service commencing at date of hire.”
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
41st percentile
$45.66 per participant in plan-paid administrative cost, cheaper than 59% of plans with 5,000+ participants.
What is Masco's 401(k) match formula?
Masco's Form 11-K does not disclose a 401(k) match formula and defers to the plan document. How a match formula is built sets out the parts to look for in your own plan documents.

|---|---|

What is Masco's 401(k) vesting schedule?
Masco 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 |
| Accelerated vesting | Full vesting for all participants upon Plan termination |
| Other employer contributions | Company profit sharing contributions vest after three years of service commencing at date of hire |
Vesting, word for word

Who can join Masco's 401(k), and is enrollment automatic?
Masco's filing does not mention automatic enrollment, which is not the same as the plan having none.
| Plan entry | Eligible hourly and salaried employees of the Company and certain subsidiaries may participate upon their date of hire |
|---|---|
| Automatic enrollment | Not mentioned in the filing (not proof of absence) |
Eligibility, word for word
“The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering hourly and salaried employees at the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. Eligible employees may participate in the Plan upon their date of hire.”
