The CACI Smart Plan
CACI International, Inc. · Reston, VA · EIN 541345888 · Plan 002 · Form 5500 for plan year 2024
What CACI International put into the plan, per active participant
$3,024
CACI International Inc put $3,024 into this plan for each of its 23,471 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.
CACI International put in less per active participant than 72% of plans with 5,000+ participants in software and IT services. The middle plan in that group of 62 reported $4,620. Software and IT services comes from business code 541519, which CACI International Inc 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 CACI International 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 $3,024 above is the Form 5500 figure for plan year 2024, and it counts every employer dollar on one line. CACI International Inc also files a Form 11-K, which states the match formula on its own for plan year 2025: the section below reads $1,980 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
$35.63
The plan paid $35.63 per participant in plan-paid administrative expenses in plan year 2024, cheaper than 71% of plans with 5,000+ participants. The middle plan of that size paid $54.84.
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
41 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: $3,024. Lower than 72% of plans with 5,000+ participants in software and IT services.
- What the plan cost, per participant: $35.63. Cheaper than 71% of plans with 5,000+ 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 CACI International puts in
$1,980
a year, at a $49,500 salary.
The match paragraph, word for word
“The Company may make matching contributions to eligible employees in an amount equal to 50% of the first 8% of pre‑tax compensation deferred by eligible participants, subject to federal limits. Certain employees are not eligible for matching contributions.”
What you contribute to collect all of it
Contribute at least 8% of your pay to collect the full match.
That is $3,960 a year at a $49,500 salary, and it scales with your own.
Vesting score
57.14 out of 100
How fast the employer’s money becomes yours. Higher than 4% 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%, 0%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%. The score is the average of those 7 readings.
Vesting, word for word
“All participants vest immediately in their salary deferral contributions and the investment earnings thereon, and vest in the Company matching and discretionary non-elective contributions, and the investment earnings thereon, based on years of continuous service. Participants become 100% vested in Company matching and non-elective contributions after three years of continuous 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
29th percentile
$35.63 per participant in plan-paid administrative cost, cheaper than 71% of plans with 5,000+ participants.
The match, vesting and eligibility terms above are read from the Form 11-K filed by CACI International Inc, 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 CACI $MART Plan.
What to check next
Collecting the whole match
CACI International’s Form 11-K pays the whole match at 8% of pay, which is $1,980 a year at a $49,500 salary and scales with your own. Your payslip and your T. Rowe Price Workplace ↗ account both show the rate you set. A rate below 8% 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
Every figure here is the whole plan for plan year 2024, taken from one filing and divided by headcounts. Your own contribution rate, your balance and the fees taken from your account are on your recordkeeper’s site, which this filing names as T. Rowe Price Workplace ↗. What you may put in during a year is set by the IRS and not by the plan: this year’s limits ↗.
