The short version

What the latest filing tells us

For the plan year ended Dec 31, 2024, INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION reported Not reported in employer contributions across the plan and 49,030 active participants. That works out to Not reported per active participant. It is useful context, but it is not the current match formula and it does not show what any one employee received.

Participation proxy33%

Active participants divided by all end-of-year plan participants. This is not the company participation rate because the filing does not report every eligible employee.

Employer money trendNot enough history

Change in reported employer contribution per active participant across the filing history shown.

Expense trendUp 6.3%

Change in reported administrative expense per participant. Investment expenses may not be included.

Peer contextNot enough data

Comparable-plan data is too limited for a score.

Where the public filing stops

Current match, vesting, eligibility, employee fees, and investment choices require a dated plan document. Until we have one, those details stay blank.
