Pricing for 401k Census

401k Census includes your plan-specific Plan Sponsor Gateway, Plan Participant Gateway, plan-specific documents as well as help, should you need it, with using your online system.

  • The only thing you'll ever pay aside from your annual fee (see below) is your initial 401k plan customization and configuration of your online system to that customized plan: The first year you sign up for 401k Census, you'll pay a one-time $995 setup fee that covers professional customization of your 401k plan as well as of your 401k Census Plan Sponsor Gateway and Participant Gateway to that plan.
  • Again, the customization fee occurs that first year only. From then all, ALL YOU PAY IS YOUR RELEVANT ANNUAL FEE (see below).
