No employer match

Northrop Grumman filed four Form 11-K reports for plan year 2025, of which one has been read. The other three reports have not, so this page cannot say what the plans they cover pay.

Vesting score
100 out of 100
How fast the employer’s money becomes yours. Higher than 48% of the 369 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
“Plan participants are fully vested in the balance of their accounts.”
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
56th percentile
$93.64 per participant in plan-paid administrative cost, more expensive than 56% of plans with 1,000–4,999 participants.
What is Northrop Grumman's 401(k) match formula?
Northrop Grumman's filing discloses no employer matching contribution for this plan. Employer money that does not depend on what you put in is not a match, whatever the plan calls it. What counts as a match sets out the difference.
| Conditions | The Plan is frozen: closed to new participants and no further contributions are permitted. Historically, participants could deposit up to 4 percent of eligible compensation into the FSSP Retirement Account (used as the basis for calculating pension benefits), with contributions in excess of 4 percent deposited into the FSSP Savings Account. No employer matching contribution is described in the filing. |

What is Northrop Grumman's 401(k) vesting schedule?
Northrop Grumman vests employer contributions to the plan 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 | In the event of a Plan termination, Plan participants would continue to be fully vested in their accounts |

The match formula, the vesting schedule and the enrollment rules on this page were read from one document: the Form 11-K/A annual report that Northrop Grumman Corporation filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission for the plan year ended December 31, 2025. Each of those fields carries the filing sentence it was read from, expandable where the field appears. Nothing on this page was supplied by the employer to this site.
The plan assets, the participant counts, the plan-paid fees and the recordkeeper come from a different document, the plan’s DOL Form 5500 annual return, and the section that reports them links it. Comparisons with other employers are computed across the filings named in the section they appear in.
