Magnera Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan
Magnera Corporation · Charlotte, NC · EIN 230628360 · Plan 017 · Form 5500 for plan year 2024
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. That is the whole employer side, matching money, profit sharing, non-elective and safe-harbor contributions and reallocated forfeitures together, because the Form 5500 reports them on one line, so it is not the match rate.
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 Corp 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 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 the plan cost, per participant
$104.34
The plan paid $104.34 per participant in plan-paid administrative expenses in plan year 2024, more expensive than 62% of plans with 1,000–4,999 participants. The middle plan of that size paid $84.96.
Why a plan this big pays less per person before anything else
Bigger plans pay less per head by construction, because the same negotiated bill divides across more people. That is why this ranking sits inside the plan's own size cohort and is never taken across all plans.
Schedule H reports only what came out of plan assets. Fees the sponsor pays directly, and fees taken inside fund expense ratios, never appear here, so this is a floor and not the all-in cost.
401(k) Monitor Score
12 out of 100
Where this plan stands against plans of its size and industry on two amounts its Form 5500 reports: employer money in per active person, and plan-paid cost per person. It reads no match formula, no vesting schedule and no fund lineup, because a Form 5500 states none of them.
- What the employer put in, per active participant: $3.84. Nothing among plans with 1,000–4,999 participants in industrial and materials manufacturing is lower.
- What the plan cost, per participant: $104. Cheaper than 38% of plans with 1,000–4,999 participants.

The match and vesting terms, from a Form 11-K
The match formula and the vesting schedule are stated in a Form 11-K, which is filed only by employers whose plan holds company stock. A Form 5500 reports neither.
What Magnera puts in
Not stated in the filing
The filing does not disclose a match formula.
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
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.
The match, vesting and eligibility terms above are read from the Form 11-K filed by Magnera Corp, whose page states the full formula, the vesting schedule and the sentence behind each one.
Matched to this employer by sponsor name, not by an identifier stated in the filing. That Form 11-K covers Magnera Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan.
