What is a Pension Plan?

A pension plan is a retirement plan that requires an employer to make contributions into a pool of funds set aside for an employee’s future benefit.

The pool of funds is then invested on behalf of the employee in such a way that the earnings from the investment will generate income to the worker upon retirement.

There are also some pension plans that have a voluntary investment component in addition to an employer’s required contributions.

A pension plan may allow an employee to contribute part of his/her current income from wages/salaries into an investment plan to help fund retirement.

The employer may also match a portion of the worker’s annual contributions, up to a specific percentage or dollar amount
