Defined contribution (pension)
A type of pension that you build up over time. The level of income you receive at retirement depends on how much you’ve paid in (yourself, or via your employer) and how your investments have performed.
The income choices you make at retirement also have an impact on the level of income you can take out. See also defined benefit (pension).
