This type of plan obligates employees to use only the plan’s providers in order to receive coverage.
This type of plan provides coverage through a network of participating health care providers. Enrollees may receive
services outside the network, but generally at a higher cost. The additional costs may be in the form of higher deductibles,
higher coinsurance rates, or both, or in the form of nondiscounted charges from providers.
3 This type of plan provides services through a network of participating health care providers. Services received within
the network or through select medical facilities generally provide more generous benefits than services received outside the
network.
4 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may
include workers with earnings both above and below the threshold. The categories were formed using percentile estimates
generated using data from the National Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation March 2015."
Note: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that
data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major plans, key provisions, and related terms, see the "Glossary of
Employee Benefit Terms" at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20152016.htm.

Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may include workers with earnings both above and below the threshold. The categories were formed
using percentile estimates generated using data from the National Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March 2015."
Note: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major plans, key provisions, and related
terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20152016.htm.

1 The sum of the columns may not equal 100 since only plans with fixed, variable, or no deductibles
are included. Plans with other deductible formulas are not included. A high deductible health plan (HDHP)
is a health plan which typically has a higher deductible and lower premium than a traditional health plan. An
individual plan must have a minimum deductible of $1,300 to be classified as a HDHP. Normally the plan
includes catastrophic coverage to protect against large medical expenses, but the insured is responsible
for routine out-of-pocket expenses.
2 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the
occupation, which may include workers with earnings both above and below the threshold. The categories
were formed using percentile estimates generated using data from the National Compensation Survey
publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March 2015."

1 A high deductible health plan (HDHP) is a health plan which typically has a higher deductible and lower premium than a
traditional health plan. An individual plan must have a minimum deductible of $1,300 to be classified as a HDHP. Normally the
plan includes catastrophic coverage to protect against large medical expenses, but the insured is responsible for routine
out-of-pocket expenses.
2 The sum of the columns may not equal 100 since workers may participate in more than one tax-favored account.
3 Health savings accounts (HSA) are used in combination with high deductible health plans to pay for current and future
medical expenses. HSAs are controlled by the employee, although both employees and employers may contribute to the account.
Accounts can accumulate tax-deferred interest.
4 Health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs) are funded solely by the employer to reimburse employees for any qualified
medical expenses. HRAs may be offered with any medical plan.
5 Flexible spending accounts (FSAs) allow an employee to set aside a portion of earnings to pay for qualified medical
expenses. Money is deducted from an employee’s earnings and is not subject to payroll taxes. Any funds not used by the end of
the plan year are forfeited by the employee.
6 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may include
workers with earnings both above and below the threshold. The categories were formed using percentile estimates generated
using data from the National Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March 2015."
Note: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major plans, key
provisions, and related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20152016.htm.

1 A high deductible health plan (HDHP) is a health plan which typically has a higher deductible and lower premium than a
traditional health plan. An individual plan must have a minimum deductible of $1,300 to be classified as a HDHP. Normally the
plan includes catastrophic coverage to protect against large medical expenses, but the insured is responsible for routine
out-of-pocket expenses.
2 Health savings accounts (HSA) are used in combination with high deductible health plans to pay for current and future
medical expenses. HSAs are controlled by the employee, although both employees and employers may contribute to the account.
Accounts can accumulate tax-deferred interest.
3 Health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs) are funded solely by the employer to reimburse employees for any qualified
medical expenses. HRAs may be offered with any medical plan.
4 Flexible spending accounts (FSAs) allow an employee to set aside a portion of earnings to pay for qualified medical
expenses. Money is deducted from an employee’s earnings and is not subject to payroll taxes. Any funds not used by the end of
the plan year are forfeited by the employee.
5 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may include
workers with earnings both above and below the threshold. The categories were formed using percentile estimates generated
using data from the National Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March 2015."
Note: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major plans, key
provisions, and related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20152016.htm.

1 Health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs) are funded solely by the employer to reimburse
employees for any qualified medical expenses. HRAs may be offered with any medical plan.
2 Flexible spending accounts (FSAs) allow an employee to set aside a portion of earnings to pay for
qualified medical expenses. Money is deducted from an employee’s earnings and is not subject to payroll
taxes. Any funds not used by the end of the plan year are forfeited by the employee.
3 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the
occupation, which may include workers with earnings both above and below the threshold. The categories
were formed using percentile estimates generated using data from the National Compensation Survey
publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March 2015."
Note: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For
definitions of major plans, key provisions, and related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms"
at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20152016.htm.

1 Limits may be set in terms of dollar or day ceiling on benefits, a requirement that the participant pay a percentage of costs (coinsurance), or a requirement that the participant pay a
specific amount (deductible or copayment) before reimbursement begins or services are rendered.
2 Less than 0.5.
3 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may include workers with earnings both above and below the threshold.
The categories were formed using percentile estimates generated using data from the National Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March
2015."
Note: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major
plans, key provisions, and related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20152016.htm.

1 Limits may be set in terms of dollar or day ceiling on benefits, a requirement that the participant pay a percentage of costs (coinsurance), or a requirement that the participant pay a
specific amount (deductible or copayment) before reimbursement begins or services are rendered.
2 Less than 0.05.
3 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may include workers with earnings both above and below the threshold.
The categories were formed using percentile estimates generated using data from the National Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March

1 Limits may be set in terms of dollar or day ceiling on benefits, a requirement that the participant pay a percentage of costs (coinsurance), or a requirement that the participant pay a
specific amount (deductible or copayment) before reimbursement begins or services are rendered.
2 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may include workers with earnings both above and below the threshold.

1 Limits may be set in terms of dollar or day ceiling on benefits, a requirement that the participant pay a percentage of costs (coinsurance), or a requirement that the participant pay a
specific amount (deductible or copayment) before reimbursement begins or services are rendered.
2 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may include workers with earnings both above and below the threshold.
The categories were formed using percentile estimates generated using data from the National Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March
2015."
Note: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major plans, key provisions, and related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee
Benefit Terms" at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20152016.htm.

1 Limits may be set in terms of dollar or day ceiling on benefits, a requirement that the participant pay a percentage of costs (coinsurance), or a requirement that the participant pay a
specific amount (deductible or copayment) before reimbursement begins or services are rendered.
2 Less than 0.5.
3 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may include workers with earnings both above and below the threshold.
The categories were formed using percentile estimates generated using data from the National Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March
2015."
Note: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major
plans, key provisions, and related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20152016.htm.

categories were formed using percentile estimates generated using data from the National Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March 2015."
Note: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major plans, key
provisions, and related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20152016.htm.

1 The out-of-pocket maximum is the annual limit on the amount of covered expenses that a participant or a family must pay after the deductible has been satisfied. Once reached, covered
expenses are fully reimbursed for the rest of the year.
2 Less than 0.5.
3 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may include workers with earnings both above and below the threshold. The
categories were formed using percentile estimates generated using data from the National Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March 2015."
Note: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major plans, key
provisions, and related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20152016.htm.

1 The out-of-pocket maximum is the annual limit on the amount of covered expenses that a participant or a family must pay after the deductible has been satisfied. Once reached, covered
expenses are fully reimbursed for the rest of the year.
2 Less than 0.5.
3 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may include workers with earnings both above and below the threshold.
The categories were formed using percentile estimates generated using data from the National Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March 2015."
Note: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major plans,
key provisions, and related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20152016.htm.

1 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may include workers with earnings both above and below the threshold. The
categories were formed using percentile estimates generated using data from the National Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March 2015."
Note: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major plans, key
provisions, and related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20152016.htm.

1 The out-of-pocket maximum is the annual limit on the amount of covered expenses that a participant or a family must pay after the deductible has been satisfied. Once reached, covered
expenses are fully reimbursed for the rest of the year.
2 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may include workers with earnings both above and below the threshold. The
categories were formed using percentile estimates generated using data from the National Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March 2015."
Note: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major plans, key
provisions, and related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20152016.htm.

1 Limits may be set in terms of dollar or day ceiling on benefits, a requirement that the participant pay a percentage of costs (coinsurance), or a requirement that the participant pay a
specific amount (deductible or copayment) before reimbursement begins or services are rendered.
2 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may include workers with earnings both above and below the threshold.
The categories were formed using percentile estimates generated using data from the National Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March
2015."
Note: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major
plans, key provisions, and related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20152016.htm.

1 Limits may be set in terms of dollar or day ceiling on benefits, a requirement that the participant pay a percentage of
costs (coinsurance), or a requirement that the participant pay a specific amount (deductible or copayment) before
reimbursement begins or services are rendered.
2 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may
include workers with earnings both above and below the threshold. The categories were formed using percentile estimates
generated using data from the National Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation March 2015."
Note: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that

Preventive services include routine exams, cleanings, and x-rays, and other preventive care.
Basic services include fillings, dental surgery, periodontal care (treatment for gum disease), and endodontics (root canal therapy).
Major services include procedures such as crowns and prosthetics (replacement of missing teeth with bridgework or dentures).
Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may include workers with earnings both above
and below the threshold. The categories were formed using percentile estimates generated using data from the National Compensation Survey publication, "Employer
Costs for Employee Compensation - March 2015."
Note: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For
definitions of major plans, key provisions, and related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20152016.htm.

Preventive services include routine exams, cleanings, and x-rays, and other preventive care.
Coverage for dental procedures may be subject to scheduled allowance, deductible, or coinsurance provisions, in
addition to maximum dollar limitations.
3 Basic services include fillings, dental surgery, periodontal care (treatment for gum disease), and endodontics (root canal
therapy).
4 Major services include procedures such as crowns and prosthetics (replacement of missing teeth with bridgework or
dentures).
5 Less than 0.05.
6 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may
include workers with earnings both above and below the threshold. The categories were formed using percentile estimates
generated using data from the National Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation March 2015."
Note: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major plans,
key provisions, and related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at

3 Major services include procedures such as crowns and prosthetics (replacement of missing teeth with
bridgework or dentures).
4 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation,
which may include workers with earnings both above and below the threshold. The categories were formed using
percentile estimates generated using data from the National Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs
for Employee Compensation - March 2015."

1 Amount of deductible excludes separate deductibles for orthodontic procedures. A deductible may not apply to all covered dental procedures. If separate deductibles apply to different
procedures, the sum of the deductible amounts are tabulated.
2 Less than 0.5.
3 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may include workers with earnings both above and below the threshold. The
categories were formed using percentile estimates generated using data from the National Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March 2015."
Note: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major plans,
key provisions, and related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20152016.htm.

1 Amount of deductible excludes separate deductibles for orthodontic procedures. A deductible may not apply to all covered dental procedures. If separate deductibles apply to different
procedures, the sum of the deductible amounts are tabulated.
2 Less than 0.5.
3 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may include workers with earnings both above and below the threshold. The
categories were formed using percentile estimates generated using data from the National Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March 2015."
Note: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major plans, key
provisions, and related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20152016.htm.

1 Includes all covered dental procedures except orthodontia. Coverage for dental procedures may be subject to scheduled allowance, deductible, or coinsurance provisions, in addition to
annual plan maximum. If separate annual maximums applied to different dental procedures, the sum of the maximum was tabulated.
2 Less than 0.5.
3 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may include workers with earnings both above and below the threshold. The
categories were formed using percentile estimates generated using data from the National Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March 2015."
Note: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major plans, key
provisions, and related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20152016.htm.

Benefits are based on a dollar amount per month for each year of service recognized by the plan.
Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may include workers with earnings both above and below the threshold. The
categories were formed using percentile estimates generated using data from the National Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March 2015."
Note: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major plans, key
provisions, and related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20152016.htm.

1 Normal retirement occurs when the specific age, length of service, or combination of age and length of service plan requirements are
satisfied and the participant may retire and receive all accrued benefits without a reduction or penalty. In some plans, participants must
satisfy a minimum service requirement to be vested in the plan. Typical vesting requirements are 3 or 5 years of services. These
requirements are not included in the service requirements for normal retirement.
2 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may include workers
with earnings both above and below the threshold. The categories were formed using percentile estimates generated using data from the
National Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March 2015."

1 Normal retirement occurs when the specific age, length of service, or combination of age and length of service plan requirements are
satisfied and the participant may retire and receive all accrued benefits without a reduction or penalty. In some plans, participants must
satisfy a minimum service requirement to be vested in the plan. Typical vesting requirements are 3 or 5 years of services. These
requirements are not included in the service requirements for normal retirement.
2 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may include workers
with earnings both above and below the threshold. The categories were formed using percentile estimates generated using data from the
National Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March 2015."
Note: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major plans, key provisions,
and related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20152016.htm.

1 Normal retirement occurs when the specific age, length of service, or combination of age and length of service plan requirements
are satisfied and the participant may retire and receive all accrued benefits without a reduction or penalty.
2 Includes workers in plans with no minimum service requirements.
3 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may include
workers with earnings both above and below the threshold. The categories were formed using percentile estimates generated using
data from the National Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March 2015."
Note: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major plans, key
provisions, and related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20152016.htm.

1 Early retirement is the age at which plan participants may retire and receive all accrued benefits, minus a
reduction for the number of years by which their retirement age precedes their normal retirement age.
2 Includes workers in plans with no minimum service requirements.
3 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation,
which may include workers with earnings both above and below the threshold. The categories were formed using
percentile estimates generated using data from the National Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs
for Employee Compensation - March 2015."
Note: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of
major plans, key provisions, and related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at
www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20152016.htm.

1 Early retirement is the age at which plan participants may retire and receive all accrued benefits, minus a reduction for the number of years by
which their retirement age precedes their normal retirement age.
2 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may include workers with
earnings both above and below the threshold. The categories were formed using percentile estimates generated using data from the National
Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March 2015."
Note: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major plans, key provisions, and
related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20152016.htm.

1 The remaining workers include both workers not receiving the benefit and workers for whom the availability of the benefit could not be
determined.
2 Under these plans, employees are allowed to have part or all of their post-tax retirement plan contributions grow tax free.
3 The employer automatically enrolls employees in the plan at a specified rate of contribution (e.g., 3 percent of earnings), unless the employee
opts out of the plan.
4 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may include workers with
earnings both above and below the threshold. The categories were formed using percentile estimates generated using data from the National

1 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may include workers with earnings both above and below the threshold. The categories were
formed using percentile estimates generated using data from the National Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March 2015."
Note: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major plans, key provisions, and
related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20152016.htm.

1 Other methods of employer matches include maximum dollar amounts specified by the employer, varying contributions by the employer based on employee contributions or service, and other
matching methods.
2 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may include workers with earnings both above and below the threshold. The
categories were formed using percentile estimates generated using data from the National Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March 2015."
Note: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major plans, key
provisions, and related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20152016.htm.

The employer automatically enrolls employees in the plan at a specified rate of contribution (e.g., 3 percent of earnings), unless the employee opts out of the plan.
Other default contributions are based on maximum dollar amounts specified by the employer, amounts based on employee length of service, or other methods.
Less than 0.5.
Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may include workers with earnings both above and below the threshold. The categories were formed using
percentile estimates generated using data from the National Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March 2015."
Note: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major plans, key provisions, and related terms, see the
"Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20152016.htm.

The employer automatically enrolls employees in the plan at a specified rate of contribution (e.g., 3 percent of earnings), unless the employee opts out of the plan.
Other default contributions are based on maximum dollar amounts specified by the employer, amounts based on employee length of service, or other methods.
Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may include workers with earnings both above and below the threshold. The categories were formed using
percentile estimates generated using data from the National Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March 2015."
Note: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major plans, key provisions, and related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at
www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20152016.htm.

1 The maximum potential employer contribution is determined by multiplying the maximum employee contribution subject to matching by the
employer matching percent, for those plans that specify both values.
2 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may include workers with
earnings both above and below the threshold. The categories were formed using percentile estimates generated using data from the National
Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March 2015."

1 The maximum potential employer contribution is determined by multiplying the maximum employee contribution subject to matching by the
employer matching percent, for those plans that specify both values.
2 Less than 0.05.
3 Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may include workers with
earnings both above and below the threshold. The categories were formed using percentile estimates generated using data from the National
Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March 2015."
Note: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major plans, key provisions, and
related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20152016.htm.

The percentage is determined by the ratio of the default enrollment amount to the maximum employee contribution matched by the employer, for those plans that specify both values.
Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may include workers with earnings both above and below the threshold.
The categories were formed using percentile estimates generated using data from the National Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March
2015."
Note: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major
plans, key provisions, and related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee Benefit Terms" at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20152016.htm.

The percentage is determined by the ratio of the default enrollment amount to the maximum employee contribution matched by the employer, for those plans that specify both values.
Surveyed occupations are classified into wage categories based on the average wage for the occupation, which may include workers with earnings both above and below the threshold.
The categories were formed using percentile estimates generated using data from the National Compensation Survey publication, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation - March
2015."
Note: Dashes indicate that no data were reported or that data do not meet publication criteria. For definitions of major plans, key provisions, and related terms, see the "Glossary of Employee
Benefit Terms" at www.bls.gov/ncs/ebs/glossary20152016.htm.

1 The sum of the individual components may exceed the total because some workers may be in plans in which employee contribution is escalated based on both years of service and
as a specified percent of earnings.

1 The list of establishments from which the survey sample was selected (sampling
frame) was developed from State unemployment insurance reports and is based on the 2012
North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). For private industries, an
establishment is usually a single physical location.
2 Establishments that provided data at the initial interview.
3 Establishments that did not provide data at the initial interview. Data for establishments
not responding at the time of update interviews are imputed. Detailed information on
nonresponse adjustment and imputation can be found in BLS Handbook of Methods,
Chapter 8, “National Compensation Measures,” Bureau of Labor Statistics, on the Internet at
