Marriott International, Inc. Puerto Rico Retirement Plan

Luxury Hotels International Of Puerto Rico, Inc. · Carolina, PR · EIN 743052234 · Plan 001 · Form 5500 for plan year 2024

What Marriott International put into the plan, per active participant

$323

Marriott International, Inc. put $323 into this plan for each of its 2,061 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

Marriott International put in more per active participant than 50% of plans with 1,000–4,999 participants at hotels and restaurants. The middle plan in that group of 271 reported $323. Hotels and restaurants comes from business code 721110, which Marriott 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 Marriott 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 $323 above is the Form 5500 figure for plan year 2024, and it counts every employer dollar on one line. Marriott International, Inc. also files a Form 11-K, which states the match formula on its own for plan year 2025: the section below reads $1,386 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

$48.37

The plan paid $48.37 per participant in plan-paid administrative expenses in plan year 2024, cheaper than 74% 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

57 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: $323. Higher than 50% of plans with 1,000–4,999 participants at hotels and restaurants.
  • What the plan cost, per participant: $48.37. Cheaper than 74% 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 Marriott International puts in

$1,386

a year, at a $49,500 salary.

The match paragraph, word for word
Contributions to the Plan come from employee salary reduction contributions and employer matching contributions. If an employee elects to participate in the Plan, contributions may be made through salary deferrals between 1% and 80% of eligible earnings in any plan year, subject to certain limitations. The Company makes matching contributions after the participant completes a one-year waiting period equal to 40% of the first 7% of the eligible earnings contributed to the Plan by participants, on a payroll period basis.

What you contribute to collect all of it

Contribute at least 7% of your pay to collect the full match.

That is $3,465 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.

Vesting scheduleCliff, 2 years

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
Participants are immediately vested in their own contributions and the investment earnings thereon. Participants are 100% vested after completing two years of service with respect to matching contributions made by the Company and related earnings.
Wait before the match starts1 year

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
All employees are eligible to participate in the Plan. Effective 10/1/2024, there are no age or service requirements to participate. Prior to 10/1/2024, employees were eligible to participate upon completion of at least 1,000 hours of service within one twelve month period 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.

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

What the plan costs, against plans of its size

27th percentile

$48.37 per participant in plan-paid administrative cost, cheaper than 74% of plans with 1,000–4,999 participants.

The match, vesting and eligibility terms above are read from the Form 11-K filed by Marriott International, Inc., whose page states the full formula, the vesting schedule and the sentence behind each one.

What to check next

  • Collecting the whole match

    Marriott International’s Form 11-K pays the whole match at 7% of pay, which is $1,386 a year at a $49,500 salary and scales with your own. Your payslip and your Alight account both show the rate you set. A rate below 7% 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
