The 401(k) Plan helps you save for retirement through your own pre-tax, after-tax, Roth 401(k) and/or catch-up contributions combined with Lubrizol's matching contributions.
You may contribute up to 75% of your eligible compensation on a before-tax or after-tax basis. The amount you contribute to your traditional 401(k) and Roth 401(k) individually, or on a combined basis, may not exceed the maximum contribution allowable under IRS 401(k) rules - $23,000 in 2024, and $23,500 in 2025.
Newly hired employees will automatically be enrolled in the plan within 30 days of hire at 6% of eligible compensation on a before-tax basis. New hires may choose to opt-out of auto-enrollment or elect higher levels of contributions at any time.
Beginning in the year you turn age 50, you may elect to make catch-up contributions in before-tax and/or Roth 401(k) of up to $7,500 in 2024, and $7,500 in 2025.
The 401(k) Plan makes the following employer contributions:
401(k) Match: Lubrizol matches your contributions dollar-for-dollar on the first 6% of eligible pay you make to the plan. You are automatically 100% vested in your own and company matching contributions.
Age-Weighted Defined Contribution (AWDC): This contribution funded entirely by Lubrizol on your behalf. Annual contributions to your account are made according to a formula based on your age and employment as of each year-end (see below). Participants will vest in The Lubrizol Corporation Age-Weighted Defined Contribution Plan equally over three (3) years.
