Classification of retirement plans There are two
main classifications of pension plans available
in the market, defined benefit pension plan and
defined contribution plan. In a defined
benefit plan the employer guarantees that the
employee would receive a certain definite amount
of money on his retirement, no matter how the
investment fund performs. In other words the
retirement benefit amount is decided upon by a
formula on the basis of the employees salary
during his tenure, his age and tenure of
service. On the other hand in a defined
contribution plan, the benefits are dependent on
the market performance of the investments. In
such a plan a certain fixed amount or percentage
of money is reserved every year by the company
for its employees. However in such a fund, the
time and way in which money can be withdrawn is
limited.
