What PACCAR puts in, and what the plan costs
What PACCAR put into the plan, per active participant
$4,958
PACCAR Inc put $4,958 into this plan for each of its 10,793 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.
PACCAR put in more per active participant than 62% of plans with 5,000+ participants in aerospace and vehicle manufacturing. The middle plan in that group of 69 reported $4,233. Aerospace and vehicle manufacturing comes from business code 336100, which PACCAR 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 PACCAR 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 $4,958 above is the Form 5500 figure for plan year 2024, and it counts every employer dollar on one line. PACCAR Inc 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. 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 PACCAR puts in
$2,475
a year, at a $49,500 salary.
The match paragraph, word for word
“For eligible participants, for every $1.00 contributed to the Plan up to 5% of eligible pay, the Company makes a matching contribution of $1.00 towards the purchase of PACCAR Inc common stock. Participant contributions (excluding age 50 catch-up deferrals) were matched to the lesser of 5% of the participants’ respective annual compensation or their annual salary deferrals (subject to certain Internal Revenue Service (the IRS) limits). The Company made matching contributions of $49,120,915 during 2025. Matching contributions are allocated to participant accounts each pay period. The Company’s rate of contribution and manner in which the Company makes its contribution, including the use of available forfeitures, shall be decided by the Company at its sole discretion with respect to each Plan year.”
What you contribute to collect all of it
Contribute at least 5% of your pay to collect the full match.
That is $2,475 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
“Plan participants are immediately 100% vested in participant and Company matching contributions when made, plus any investment earnings thereon.”
The match starts with the job. This is a filed term, and it does not move the score above.
Eligibility, word for word
“The PACCAR Inc Savings Investment Plan (the Plan) is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all non-union U.S. employees of PACCAR Inc and its U.S. subsidiaries (collectively, the Company). Covered employees are eligible to participate in the Plan and receive employer contributions immediately upon participation.”
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
5th percentile
$7.60 per participant in plan-paid administrative cost, cheaper than 95% of plans with 5,000+ participants.
What is PACCAR's 401(k) match formula?
PACCAR's 401(k) employer match tops out at 5% of pay. The match is deposited each payroll. One rate up to one limit is the commonest of the four shapes a match formula takes.
| Match formula | 100% (dollar-for-dollar) of the first 5% of pay |
|---|---|
| Maximum employer match | 5% of compensation |
| Deposited | Each payroll |
| Paid in company stock | Yes |
| Conditions | Match is contributed toward the purchase of PACCAR Inc common stock; participants may generally transfer matching contribution balances out of the stock fund at any time; age 50 catch-up deferrals are not matched; the Company's rate of contribution and the manner of contribution are decided at its sole discretion with respect to each Plan year |
At a $75,000 salary, contributing 5% ($3,750) earns the full employer match of $3,750 for the year.

What is PACCAR's 401(k) vesting schedule?
PACCAR 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 |
