Louisiana-Pacific 401(k) And Profit Sharing Plan
Louisiana-Pacific Corporation · Nashville, TN · EIN 930609074 · Plan 040 · Form 5500 for plan year 2024
What LOUISIANA-PACIFIC put into the plan, per active participant
$6,858
LOUISIANA-PACIFIC CORP put $6,858 into this plan for each of its 2,803 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.
LOUISIANA-PACIFIC put in more per active participant than 93% 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 321210, which LOUISIANA-PACIFIC CORP 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 LOUISIANA-PACIFIC 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 $6,858 above is the Form 5500 figure for plan year 2024, and it counts every employer dollar on one line. LOUISIANA-PACIFIC CORP 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
$174.60
The plan paid $174.60 per participant in plan-paid administrative expenses in plan year 2024, more expensive than 89% 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: $6,858. Higher than 93% of plans with 1,000–4,999 participants in industrial and materials manufacturing.
- What the plan cost, per participant: $175. Cheaper than 11% 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 LOUISIANA-PACIFIC puts in
$2,475
a year, at a $49,500 salary.
The match paragraph, word for word
“LP matches contributions at 100% of the first 4% and 50% of the next 2% of eligible compensation deferred. LP can also make a discretionary profit sharing contribution. During the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, discretionary profit-sharing contributions were $6.2 million and $7.3 million, respectively. Participants may direct the investment of their contributions and the employer contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. Participants must be employed on the last day of the Plan year to receive profit-sharing contributions.”
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
100 out of 100
How fast the employer’s money becomes yours. Higher than 48% 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: 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%. The score is the average of those 7 readings.
Vesting, word for word
“Vesting - Participants are immediately 100% vested in their own contributions and in employer matching contributions. A participant shall become fully vested in profit sharing contributions to the Plan upon the first of the following events to occur while employed by LP: •Completion of three years of service •Death •Attainment of age 65 •Involuntary termination due to job elimination”
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
89th percentile
$174.60 per participant in plan-paid administrative cost, more expensive than 89% of plans with 1,000–4,999 participants.
The match, vesting and eligibility terms above are read from the Form 11-K filed by LOUISIANA-PACIFIC CORP, whose page states the full formula, the vesting schedule and the sentence behind each one.
What to check next
Collecting the whole match
LOUISIANA-PACIFIC’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 T. Rowe Price 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.
What to ask about the fees
This plan paid $174.60 per participant out of plan assets, more than 89% of plans with 1,000–4,999 participants, where the middle plan paid $84.96. The filing does not say what the difference buys. Two questions put that to a benefits or HR team: what the recordkeeping and administration contract costs, and how much of it comes out of participant accounts rather than being paid by LOUISIANA-PACIFIC. The lines this total is made of are further down.
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 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 ↗.
