How to read this ranking
- What does it measure?
- We divided each plan’s reported administrative costs by its active participants. The highest amounts appear first. The number comes from the latest selected Form 5500 filing.
- Is this a “best plan” list?
- No. It is one useful filing signal. Current match, vesting, investment costs, and eligibility still matter.
- Why filter small plans?
- Requiring at least 100 active participants reduces tiny-plan noise and makes the list more useful to employees.
Read these as reported figures—not verdicts
Administrative expense does not include every investment or employee-paid fee. Employer contributions can include match, profit sharing, safe-harbor, and other amounts. Missing or unusually reported values can affect rankings.
