2026 Highlights

Be sure to review the e-Brochure for details about what’s new and changing in 2026.

  • At Nutanix, you have access to a total benefits package, carefully designed to care for your total wellbeing, from health and financial security to time away and support for everyday life.
  • For 2026, we're making updates that reflect a shared commitment to wellbeing and sustainability. This approach helps us maintain important investments in your preventive health, retirement benefits, and much more.
  • Changes to your 2026 benefits can help you focus more on prevention, improve your wellbeing, and be proactive about your health.

What's Not Changing

  • No health plan premium increases: You keep the same paycheck cost in 2026.
  • Wellbeing credits: The Wellbeing credits you earned before September 30 offset your medical plan coverage up to 100%.
  • No plan changes: You have access to the same coverage and networks in 2026.
  • No deductible changes: On Kaiser HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) and UHC POS (Point of Service) medical plans, the in-network deductible remains $0. The out-of-network deductible also remains the same for the UHC POS plan.
  • Same plan choices and who you can cover.
  • Same tax-advantaged accounts available.
  • BeWell: Three wellbeing days continue, and you are supported through the BeWell suite of programs.
  • Preventive care: Remains 100% covered for all in-network care, including preventive prescriptions.

Care for Your Health

Medical Plans

  • All plans now include small copays or coinsurance. Nutanix still pays most of the costs.
  • UHC POS and CDHP (Consumer Driven Health Plan) with HSA medical plans: Age limits waived for all preventive cancer screenings, ensuring broader access to early detection and proactive care.
  • UHC POS plan: Copays added for visits and prescriptions. Preventive care stays free.
  • CDHP with HSA: Higher deductibles, but Nutanix is adding more to your HSA.
  • Kaiser HMO: HRA ends in 2025. Fertility coverage expands in 2026.
  • Your BeWell Wellbeing credits earned before September 30, will cover up to 100% of your medical premium.

See the e-Brochure for additional details and the Medical Plan Comparison Chart for a complete picture.

To cover copays and other eligible expenses, consider enrolling in a Flexible Spending Account (FSA).

Dental

  • More choice, flexibility, and support for dental care. You told us your concerns about Delta Dental provider availability. We confirmed that Delta Dental still offers the nation’s largest network where our employees live and work, but we also recognize the importance of choice.
  • New enhanced dental plan. We now have two options:
    • Delta Dental PPO Core (current plan with a new name), and
    • Delta Dental PPO Core Plus plan, which offers higher annual maximums for routine and orthodontic care (up to $3,000), and greater coverage for many in-network and out-of-network services.

See the e-Brochure for additional details.

Grow Your Wealth

  • We're increasing the Nutanix 401(k) match by $1,000, so the annual maximum is now $4,000. Nutanix will continue to match 50% of your contributions, up to $4,000 each year.
  • Annual contribution limits are increasing for tax-advantaged accounts. FSA and HSA limits increase in 2026. Plus, the employer contribution into the HSA is increasing and will continue to align with 50% of the deductible on the UHC CDHP plan.
    • Remember: You must re-enroll in these accounts each year. FSAs operate on a use-it-or-lose-it basis, so unused funds do not carry over to the following year.
  • ARAG provides legal insurance and identity theft protection: There will be a small increase to the premium (81 cents more per paycheck) for a benefit that supports life's unexpected moments.

See the e-Brochure for additional details.

Live Your Best Life

BeWell is your personal suite of wellbeing programs at Nutanix. It's here to help you stay physically, emotionally, and financially healthy.

Steps to Prepare for Open Enrollment

Not all plans carry over, so review your options carefully. If you want to make changes, you must act by November 7 at 5:00 p.m. PT. There are no individual exceptions.

  • Read through your Open Enrollment materials.
  • Consider your needs in 2026. Planned surgeries, a growing family, and other life changes impact your decisions.
  • Understand what’s changing. Even if you’re planning to keep your current benefit elections, review what’s changing.
  • Use the 2026 Open Enrollment e-Brochure. This is your go-to resource for what’s new, how the medical plans compare, and key factors to consider as you make your benefit elections for the year ahead.

  • Click the Submit button and print your Benefit Summary Confirmation.

Open Enrollment: Don’t Miss Out

If you don't act by the deadline:

  • You and any dependents you currently cover will be reenrolled in the same benefits you have now. Your paycheck deductions for these plans and coverage levels will continue.
  • If you don't actively elect an FSA, you will not be enrolled for 2026. Per IRS regulations, you must enroll in these accounts each year.
  • Your HSA contribution elections won't increase. Do they still align with your needs for 2026?
  • No late enrollments will be accepted. You must finalize your 2026 elections by the deadline. Your next opportunity to make changes will be during the next Open Enrollment period, or midyear if you experience a qualified life event.
