Defined Contribution Pension and Other Postretirement Plans Disclosure [Abstract] |
BENEFIT PLANS | BENEFIT PLANS The Company operates a retirement savings plan for its employees in the United States that is qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Employees are eligible to enroll in the plan upon date of hire. Participating employees may contribute up to 50% of their pre-tax earnings, but not more than statutory limits (generally $18,000, $18,000 and $17,500 for 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively). The company match contribution is fifty cents for each dollar a participant contributes to the plan, with a maximum contribution of 6% of a participant's eligible earnings. Matching contributions are invested in the same manner as each participant's voluntary contributions in the investment options provided under the plan. LendingTree stock is not included in the available investment options or the plan assets. Funds contributed to the plan vest according to the participant's years of service, with less than three years of service vesting at 0%, and three years or more of service vesting at 100%. Matching contributions were approximately $0.7 million, $0.5 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
