===Fees=== 401(k) plans charge fees for administrative services, record-keeping services, investment management services, and sometimes outside consulting services. They can be charged to the employer, the plan participants or to the plan itself and the fees can be allocated on a per participant basis, per plan, or as a percentage of the plan's assets. For 2011, the average total administrative and management fees on a 401(k) plan was 0.78 percent or approximately $250 per participant.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ici.org/pdf/rpt_11_dc_401k_fee_study.pdf |title=Defined Contribution / 401(k) Fee Study | author=[[Deloitte Consulting LLP]] for the [[Investment Company Institute]] |date=November 2011}}</ref> However small businesses can suffer especially higher plan fees.<ref>[https://investment-fiduciary.com/2010/07/15/sucker-401k-plans/ Small Business 401k, Big Plan Fees! ]</ref> The United States Supreme Court ruled, in 2015, that plan administrators could be sued for excessive plan fees and expenses, in Tibble v.
