DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN
A defined contribution plan is the most common type of pension in today’s modern workplace. They are the perfect option for employees that want more control over how their money is invested and for employers looking to control pension contribution costs. Both employer and employee make contributions to a defined contribution plan, but ultimately, it is the employee who directs how the funds are invested.
Unlike a defined benefit plan that provides a known fixed monthly benefit, the amount your defined contribution plan is worth will depend on the amount you have contributed and the performance of your investments.
Your Pension Plan, Your Way
With a defined contribution plan, you decide how you want your money to be invested. Your employer will provide a plan that offers a set number of investments to choose from. If you leave your job while your contribution plan is active, you will still maintain ownership of your account and all contributions.
Many employers pay a matching contribution to your plan, often set at 50 cents for every dollar you put in. For example, if over a year you contribute $4,000 to your plan, your employer will contribute $2,000.
