Term Description
Lifetime Income The LIS Includes all actively employed and eligible participants, is illustrated as a median value and assumes a retirement income replacement of 75% or a plan
Score (LIS) chosen replacement as applicable. The LIS includes only those participants for which we have a valid annual salary of at least $10,000, date of birth and have
“other” assets from outside sources less than $5 million. For more information please see the Lifetime Income Score Important Information and Disclosure
located on the Data Library dashboard in the Plan Service Center.
2020 - 2021 LIS Enhancements:
In January 2020, the plan LIS calculation was enhanced to move from a generic Social Security retirement age to the plan-specific retirement age.
• The calculation now considers participant-elected, custom retirement ages and the plan retirement age for all participants engaged with the participant
website. Typically the plan retirement age is lower that SS which will result in a lower LIS.
In June 2020, the capital market assumptions were enhanced to better align with market conditions:
• Equity projection rate decreased from 7.23% to 6.36% (-0.87%)
• Bond projection rate decreased from 2.02% to 1.9% (-0.12%)
In February 2021, the capital market assumptions were enhanced to better align with market conditions:
• Equity projection rate decreased from 6.36% to 6.33% (-0.03%)
• Bond projection rate increased from 1.90% to 1.94% (+0.04%)
Participation rate The participation rate includes all actively employed participants with a deferral on the recordkeeping system and includes an election as a percent or dollars in
(before-tax, after-tax, Roth, catch-up). The rate represents the ratio of employees who are eligible to participate in relation to employees who are actively
participating (have a deferral and actively contributing or have reached the allowable limit).
Contribution rate Includes all actively employed participants with a deferral on the recordkeeping system.
The rate reflected includes percentages and flat dollar contributions (if we have a salary for the participant).
The average total contribution rate is calculated by adding together before-tax, after-tax, Roth and catch-up contribution type amounts available on the
recordkeeping system divided by the number of participants who made a contribution as of the last day of the month, excluding participants with a 0% deferral
and who have reached the annual contribution limit.
