The weighted average actuarial assumptions utilized to calculate the net periodic benefit costs for the U.S. and significant non-U.S. defined benefit plans are as follows: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Combined U.S. and significant non-U.S. Plans | Pension Benefits | | | | June 30, | 2024 | | 2023 | | | | | | Weighted average assumptions: | | | | | | | | | Expected return on plan assets | 5.44 | % | | 5.31 | % | | | | | | Discount rate | 4.95 | % | | 5.16 | % | | | | | | Rate of compensation increase * | 3.16 | % | | 3.16 | % | | | | |
(*) There are no rate of compensation increase assumptions for the U.S. defined benefit plans since future benefit accruals were discontinued for those plans after December 31, 2016 and earned benefits are not subject to final salary level adjustments.
