How Many Americans Have a 401(k) or Similar Retirement Savings Plan?

 

 

• A recent Gallup poll (June 2025) found that about 60% of Americans report having some money invested in a retirement savings plan—such as a 401(k), 403(b), or IRA.
• Another estimate (from the U.S. Census and consumer studies) indicates that approximately 54% of U.S. households had retirement account assets in 2022.
• For working individuals specifically, about 42% of the working population participates in a 401(k) plan, according to Fidelity data.

 

 

Summary:

 

• Between 54–60% of American adults/households have retirement savings accounts (401(k), IRA, etc.).
• Roughly 4 in 10 working Americans actively participate in a 401(k).

 

 

 

 

 

What Percentage Are Invested in Stocks?

 

 

• Gallup reports that 62% of Americans now say they own stock—either directly or through vehicles like mutual funds or retirement accounts—the same rate held steady from 2024 into 2025.
• Pew Research notes that 58% of U.S. families had some exposure to the stock market in 2022—the highest level on record—with the most common method being ownership via retirement plans.
• Investopedia also confirms that “more than 60%” of Americans have some money in the stock market, consistent with Gallup’s findings.
