Retirement Benefits [Abstract]  
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, Policy [Policy Text Block] We also sponsor a voluntary 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan for eligible employees. We match 200 percent of employee elective deferrals for the first two percent of employee eligible compensation and 50 percent of employee elective deferrals greater than two percent, but not exceeding six percent, of employee eligible compensation. Total expense for our matching contributions to the plan was $123 million in 2022, $118 million in 2021 and $102 million in 2020.

Prior to the transfer, the U.K. Plan utilized the insurance buy-in methodology and based its discount rate on a yield curve reflective of the market pricing obtained in the most recent buy-in transaction, which occurred prior to the acquisition of BTG, and movements in market-observed buy-in pricing as of December 31, 2021. We believed this to be a reasonable proxy for an effective settlement rate of the buy-in assets. The discount rate was calculated as the single equivalent assumption that gives the same value of the liabilities as if the figures were calculated using the full yield curve. We assumed that all pension increases would continue to be linked to the Retail Price Inflation (RPI), both before and after retirement, for all members, with the exception of post-88 Guaranteed Minimum Pensions (GMP), which would be based on Consumer Price Inflation (CPI). We based our rate of expected return on plan assets as equal to the discount rate used to value the buy-in assets. The U.K. Plan assets' investment policy was to invest in fully matching assets. This was achieved through the purchase of two buy-in policies (Buy-in contracts), which provided payments designed to equal all future benefit payments due from the fund. As of December 31, 2021, the Buy-in contracts represented 100 percent of the total plan assets, as compared to the target percentage of 100 percent, and are considered Level 3 investments.

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy of the U.K. Plan assets measured at fair value:
