Financial planning and retirement

You invest each day toward fulfilling our mission of saving and improving lives. In turn, we invest in you. Go to mycompandben.com for a snapshot of the financial value provided by Merck of the compensation and benefits programs we offer to support your personal and professional well-being. Use your Fidelity login credentials to access your information.

• Review your profile and make sure all your personal information is up to date.
• Estimate and compare different payment amounts and schedules that may be available to you.
• Learn about the various payment options that may be available with your plan.

Contributions

• View or update the amount you contribute to your 401(k) savings plan account.
• Enroll in the Annual Increase Program to automatically increase your contribution amount election each year.
• Elect the plan’s spillover feature so that your before-tax and/or Roth after-tax contributions automatically convert – or “spill over” – to traditional after-tax contributions when you reach the limit. 

Investments

• Research investment performance.
• Change your current and/or future investments.
• Decide on an investment strategy. Do you want to manage the money yourself, or have it managed for you?

If you have Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), Performance Share Units (PSUs) or Stock Options, access your Morgan Stanley account to view your grant and vesting history, review terms and conditions of awards, transact in vested shares and download tax documents. You can also download the Morgan Stanley mobile app.

For information about how to access and manage your RSUs, PSUs or Stock Options through Morgan Stanley, view the User Guide to Access Morgan Stanley for Merck U.S. Employees.
