Chevron Employee Savings Investment Plan
Chevron Corporation · Houston, TX · EIN 940890210 · Plan 001 · Form 5500 for plan year 2024
What Chevron put into the plan, per active participant
$14,405
Chevron Corporation put $14,405 into this plan for each of its 22,195 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.
Chevron put in more per active participant than 93% of plans with 5,000+ participants in oil, gas and mining. The middle plan in that group of 31 reported $7,448. Oil, gas and mining comes from business code 324110, which Chevron 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 Chevron 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 $14,405 above is the Form 5500 figure for plan year 2024, and it counts every employer dollar on one line. Chevron Corporation also files a Form 11-K, which states what the employer contributes on its own for plan year 2025: the section below reads $3,960 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
$85.22
The plan paid $85.22 per participant in plan-paid administrative expenses in plan year 2024, more expensive than 75% 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
73 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: $14,405. Higher than 93% of plans with 5,000+ participants in oil, gas and mining.
- What the plan cost, per participant: $85.22. Cheaper than 25% 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 Chevron puts in
$3,960
a year, at a $49,500 salary.
Once the worker contributes 2% of pay, the employer adds 8% of pay, whatever the worker puts in above that.
The match paragraph, word for word
“The Plan has a fixed match feature. The Company will match 4 percent of regular pay to participants making basic contributions of 1 percent to the Plan or 8 percent of regular pay to participants making basic contributions of 2 percent to the Plan. The Code limits the amount of compensation that can be taken into account when calculating participant and company matching contributions to the Plan; for the year 2025, company matching contributions ceased when a participant reached regular pay of $350,000.”
What you contribute to collect all of it
Contribute at least 2% of your pay to collect the full match.
That is $990 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. Employees are always fully vested in all contributions to their accounts, as well as the investment income earned from all contributions to the Plan.”
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
75th percentile
$85.22 per participant in plan-paid administrative cost, more expensive than 75% of plans with 5,000+ participants.
The match, vesting and eligibility terms above are read from the Form 11-K filed by Chevron Corporation, whose page states the full formula, the vesting schedule and the sentence behind each one.
What to check next
The rate this formula turns on
Chevron’s Form 11-K states that the employer puts in $3,960 a year once a worker contributes 2% of pay, and the same amount however much more goes in above that. Your payslip and your recordkeeper account both show the rate you set. Below 2%, this formula pays nothing.
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 $85.22 per participant out of plan assets, more than 75% of plans with 5,000+ participants, where the middle plan paid $54.84. 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 Chevron. The lines this total is made of are further down.
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. What you may put in during a year is set by the IRS and not by the plan: this year’s limits ↗.
