- such as a flat amount per year ofservice or a percentage of salary times years of service.A defined contribution plan is a pension plan in which thecontributions are made to an
individual account for each employee.The retirement benefit is dependent upon the account balance atretirement. The balance depends upon amounts contributed,investment experience,
and, in the case of profit sharing plans,amounts which may be allocated to the account due to forfeitures byterminating employees.Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOP) and 401(k)plans
(see Table 616) are included among defined contribution plans.Data are based on Form 5500 series reports filed with the InternalRevenue Service]
