1st Source Corporation Employee Stock Ownership And Profit Sharing Plan

1st Source Corporation · South Bend, IN · EIN 351068133 · Plan 003 · Form 5500 for plan year 2024

What 1st Source put into the plan, per active participant

$4,440

1st Source Corporation put $4,440 into this plan for each of its 1,196 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.

0 · least per person100 · most per person

1st Source put in more per active participant than 68% of plans with 1,000–4,999 participants at holding companies. The middle plan in that group of 157 reported $2,643. Holding companies comes from business code 551111, which 1st Source Corporation 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 1st Source 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 $4,440 above is the Form 5500 figure for plan year 2024, and it counts every employer dollar on one line. 1st Source Corporation also files a Form 11-K, which states the match formula on its own for plan year 2025: the section below reads $2,475 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

$119.23

The plan paid $119.23 per participant in plan-paid administrative expenses in plan year 2024, more expensive than 71% 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

56 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: $4,440. Higher than 68% of plans with 1,000–4,999 participants at holding companies.
  • What the plan cost, per participant: $119. Cheaper than 30% 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 1st Source puts in

$2,475

a year, at a $49,500 salary.

The match paragraph, word for word
Matching Contribution — contribution is discretionary. The first 4% of a participant's eligible compensation contributed to the Plan is matched 100%, and the next 2% of a participant's eligible compensation contributed to the Plan is matched 50%.

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

47.14 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.

Vesting scheduleGraded, full at 5 years

Share of the employer's money that is the worker's at hire and at each of the first 6 anniversaries: 0%, 10%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 100%, 100%. The score is the average of those 7 readings.

Vesting, word for word
Vesting of the 1st Source Employer Contributions, including match, fixed profit sharing, discretionary profit sharing, and regular contributions, is based on years of credited service. A credited year of service is at least 1,000 hours worked in a 12-month period. A participant is 10%, 20%, 40%, 60%, or 100% vested after completing one, two, three, four, or five or more years of credited service, respectively.

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.

The formula, the six-year window and a worked example

What the plan costs, against plans of its size

71st percentile

$119.23 per participant in plan-paid administrative cost, more expensive than 71% of plans with 1,000–4,999 participants.

The match, vesting and eligibility terms above are read from the Form 11-K filed by 1st Source Corporation, 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 1st Source Corporation Employee Stock Ownership and Profit Sharing Plan.

What to check next

  • Collecting the whole match

    1st Source’s Form 11-K pays the whole match at 6% of pay, which is $2,475 a year at a $49,500 salary and scales with your own. Your payslip and your Ascensus 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
