GKN U.S. RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN Contribution & Match Policy

GKN U.S. RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN Plan Policies

GKN U.S. RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN Contribution, Match and Other Plan Policies

  • Each year, participants may elect to contribute at least 1 percent and up to 75 percent of pre-tax and post-tax annual eligible compensation as defined by the Plan.
  • The Plan provides for an automatic employee salary deferral contribution of 3 percent of an employee’s eligible compensation, unless the employee opts to elect a different deferral percentage or elects to not make a salary deferral contribution.
  • The automatic contribution begins immediately after a new participant meets eligibility requirements.
  • In the absence of an affirmative contribution election, the automatic contribution will increase 1 percent each year until it reaches a maximum of 10 percent.
  • Participants may also make contributions to the Plan in the form of a rollover of funds from another qualified plan.
  • The Company generally matches 100 percent of participant contributions on the first 1 percent of compensation deferred and 50 percent on the next 5 percent of employee contributions.
  • Participants are immediately 100 percent vested in employee salary and rollover contributions and any income or loss thereon, as well as the Company’s discretionary nonelective contributions.
  • Unless otherwise specified in the plan agreement for certain divisions, vesting in the Company’s matching and profit-sharing contribution portions of their accounts, plus actual earnings thereon, is based on years of service.
  • A participant is 100 percent vested in the Company’s matching contribution portion of his or her account plus actual earnings thereon primarily after three years of credited service prior to January 1, 2014.
  • Company matching contributions made after January 1, 2014 will be 100 percent vested after two years of service.
  • Company profit-sharing contributions made after January 1, 2014 will be 100 percent vested after three years of service.
  • However, if an active participant attains his or her normal retirement age or age 55, becomes physically or mentally disabled, or dies prior to attaining the normal retirement age, the participant’s account becomes 100 percent vested.

2025 IRS 401(k) Contribution Limits

The IRS sets annual limits on how much you and your employer can contribute to a 401(k) plan. Knowing these limits helps you maximize tax-advantaged savings. Here are the current limits:

 20242025
Employee elective deferrals (pretax + Roth)$23,000$23,500
Employee + employer contributions combined$69,000$70,000
Catch-up contributions (age 50+)$7,500$7,500
Enhanced catch-up (ages 60–63, SECURE 2.0)N/A$11,250

The power of maxing out: If you contribute the full $23,500 annually for 20 years at a 10% average annual return, you would accumulate approximately $1,505,256. If you can maximize the combined employee+employer limit of $70,000 per year, that grows to roughly $4,480,385 over the same period — more than triple.
