What TRUSTMARK puts in, and what the plan costs
What TRUSTMARK put into the plan, per active participant
$4,303
TRUSTMARK CORP put $4,303 into this plan for each of its 2,487 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.
TRUSTMARK put in more per active participant than 65% of plans with 1,000–4,999 participants at banks and lenders. The middle plan in that group of 245 reported $3,422. Banks and lenders comes from business code 522110, which TRUSTMARK 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 TRUSTMARK 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 $4,303 above is the Form 5500 figure for plan year 2024, and it counts every employer dollar on one line. TRUSTMARK CORP also files a Form 11-K, which states the match formula for plan year 2025: the card below reads $2,970 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 TRUSTMARK puts in
$2,970
a year, at a $49,500 salary.
The match paragraph, word for word
“Eligible participant contributions are matched by the employer at a rate of 100 percent of the first 6 percent of covered compensation.”
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 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
“Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions, all employer contributions made on their behalf and the investment earnings and losses thereon.”
A worker hired today collects no match for 1 month. This is a filed term, and it does not move the score above.
Eligibility, word for word
“Full-time and part-time associates are eligible to receive the safe harbor matching contribution on the first day of the month following one month of service.”
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
30th percentile
$53.27 per participant in plan-paid administrative cost, cheaper than 70% of plans with 1,000–4,999 participants.
What is TRUSTMARK's 401(k) match formula?
TRUSTMARK's 401(k) employer match tops out at 6% of pay. 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 6% of pay |
|---|---|
| Maximum employer match | 6% of compensation |
| Other employer contribution | The employer may also make discretionary contributions. No discretionary contributions were made for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. |
At a $75,000 salary, contributing 6% ($4,500) earns the full employer match of $4,500 for the year.
What the filing says, word for word
“Eligible participant contributions are matched by the employer at a rate of 100 percent of the first 6 percent of covered compensation.”

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

Who holds your account
Schedule C of the Form 5500 filed for plan year 2024 reports Empower, filed as “EMPOWER ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY O”. That is the company paid to keep the account records: what is in an account, what went into it, and usually the site a participant signs in to. The trustee that holds the plan’s assets can be a different company, and this filing does not name it.
7,876 plans on file name Empower as their recordkeeper. Of those, the 7,813 with a computable fee have a median plan-paid cost of $165.72 per participant.

The match formula, the vesting schedule and the enrollment rules on this page were read from one document: the Form 11-K annual report that TRUSTMARK CORP 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.
