Humana Retirement Savings Plan
Humana Inc. · Louisville, KY · EIN 610647538 · Plan 002 · Form 5500 for plan year 2024
What Humana put into the plan, per active participant
$5,621
Humana Inc. put $5,621 into this plan for each of its 42,968 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.
Humana put in more per active participant than 58% of plans with 5,000+ participants in insurance. The middle plan in that group of 98 reported $5,049. Insurance comes from business code 524140, which Humana 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 Humana 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 $5,621 above is the Form 5500 figure for plan year 2024, and it counts every employer dollar on one line. Humana Inc. also files a Form 11-K, which states the match formula on its own for plan year 2025: the section below reads $3,713 a year at a $49,500 salary. 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
$39.61
The plan paid $39.61 per participant in plan-paid administrative expenses in plan year 2024, cheaper than 67% 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
60 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: $5,621. Higher than 58% of plans with 5,000+ participants in insurance.
- What the plan cost, per participant: $39.61. Cheaper than 67% 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 Humana puts in
$3,713
a year, at a $49,500 salary.
The match paragraph, word for word
“The Company matched 125% of a Participant’s eligible pre-tax, Roth (discussed below) and catch-up contributions that combined do not exceed 6% of their eligible compensation after completion of one year of service. After-tax, Rollover, Roth Rollover and Roth Conversion contributions are not matched. The Company may increase, decrease, or cease matching contributions, with approval from the Board of Directors. Matching contributions are funded each pay period and follow the Participants' investment elections. Effective January 1, 2026, the Company reduced the matching contribution from 125% to 100% of a Participant's eligible pre-tax, Roth and catch-up contributions combined up to 6% of their eligible compensation, after completion of one year of service. Additionally, beginning January 1, 2026, qualified student loan payments are eligible for matching contributions, subject to the same 6% of eligible compensation after completion of one year of service.”
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
71.43 out of 100
How fast the employer’s money becomes yours. Higher than 32% 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%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%. The score is the average of those 7 readings.
Vesting, word for word
“Participant contributions are fully vested and non-forfeitable. Generally, once a Participant has completed two years of service, the Company Matching Account contributions vest immediately and become non-forfeitable.”
A worker hired today collects no match for 1 year. This is a filed term, and it does not move the score above.
Eligibility, word for word
“The Plan is a qualified defined contribution plan established for the benefit of the employees of Humana Inc. and its participating subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Humana”) who are not employed in Puerto Rico (“eligible employees”), or eligible for the Humana Partnership Savings Plan and the CenterWell Home Health 401(k) Savings Plan and is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). The Plan is a Safe Harbor Plan. The Company is the sponsor (“Plan Sponsor”) and a committee appointed by the Company is the administrator (“Plan Administrator”) of the Plan. The Company appointed Schwab Retirement Plan Services as the recordkeeper, and Charles Schwab Trust Bank as the trustee and custodian. The Company has appointed NEPC, LLC to provide investment consulting services to the Plan Administrator. Newport Trust Company is the named fiduciary and investment manager of the investment fund under the Plan that holds shares of common stock of the Company (the “Humana Unitized Stock Fund”). The Plan offers access to a discretionary managed account service provided by Morningstar Investment Management LLC, a registered investment adviser and subsidiary of Morningstar, Inc. Morningstar Investment Management LLC is a fiduciary that is designated by the Plan and is made available to participants and beneficiaries to manage all or a portion of their Plan account. Participant Accounts Employees of the Company are generally eligible to participate upon employment.”
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
33rd percentile
$39.61 per participant in plan-paid administrative cost, cheaper than 67% of plans with 5,000+ participants.
The match, vesting and eligibility terms above are read from the Form 11-K filed by Humana Inc., whose page states the full formula, the vesting schedule and the sentence behind each one.
What to check next
Collecting the whole match
Humana’s Form 11-K pays the whole match at 6% of pay, which is $3,713 a year at a $49,500 salary and scales with your own. Your payslip and your Schwab Workplace ↗ 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.
Weighing this employer against another
