The Gorman-Rupp Company 401(k) Plan
The Gorman-Rupp Company · Mansfield, OH · EIN 340253990 · Plan 005 · Form 5500 for plan year 2024
What GORMAN RUPP put into the plan, per active participant
$3,783
GORMAN RUPP CO put $3,783 into this plan for each of its 1,278 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.
GORMAN RUPP put in more per active participant than 72% of plans with 1,000–4,999 participants in industrial and materials manufacturing. The middle plan in that group of 766 reported $2,514. Industrial and materials manufacturing comes from business code 333200, which GORMAN RUPP CO 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 GORMAN RUPP 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 $3,783 above is the Form 5500 figure for plan year 2024, and it counts every employer dollar on one line. GORMAN RUPP CO also files a Form 11-K, which states the match formula on its own for plan year 2025: the section below reads $1,485 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 the plan cost, per participant
$70.13
The plan paid $70.13 per participant in plan-paid administrative expenses in plan year 2024, cheaper than 60% 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
68 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: $3,783. Higher than 72% of plans with 1,000–4,999 participants in industrial and materials manufacturing.
- What the plan cost, per participant: $70.13. Cheaper than 60% 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 GORMAN RUPP puts in
$1,485
a year, at a $49,500 salary.
The match paragraph, word for word
“The Company contributes 40% of the first 4% of compensation that a participant contributes to the Plan provided such participant was hired prior to January 1, 2008. For employees hired after January 1, 2008, all previous participants in The National Pump Company 401(k) Savings Plan, Fill-Rite Company employees and previous participants in the AMT Pump Company 401(k) Plan, the Company contributes 50% of the first 6% of compensation that a participant contributes to the Plan. The Company also contributes a percentage of the employee's income based on the age of the employee and the years of service with the Company for employees hired on or after January 1, 2008.”
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
Not scored
The filing does not state a vesting schedule for the employer match.
A schedule this cannot read at whole-year anniversaries is left without a number rather than given a middle one.
The filing does not state a vesting schedule for the employer match.
Vesting, word for word
“Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company age and service contribution is based on years of continuous service; a participant is 100% vested after three years 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
41st percentile
$70.13 per participant in plan-paid administrative cost, cheaper than 60% of plans with 1,000–4,999 participants.
The match, vesting and eligibility terms above are read from the Form 11-K filed by GORMAN RUPP CO, 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 The Gorman-Rupp Company 401(k) Plan.
What to check next
Collecting the whole match
GORMAN RUPP’s Form 11-K pays the whole match at 6% of pay, which is $1,485 a year at a $49,500 salary and scales with your own. Your payslip and your Merrill Benefits OnLine ↗ account both show the rate you set. A rate below 6% collects less than the whole match.
That Form 11-K covers plan year 2025. The plan’s Summary Plan Description states the terms in force, and the plan administrator must provide it to participants on request.
Your own numbers are not on this page

Your own contribution rate, your balance and the fees taken from your account are on your recordkeeper’s site, which this filing names as Merrill Benefits OnLine ↗. What you may put in during a year is set by the IRS and not by the plan: this year’s limits ↗.
