Defined Benefit Plans are qualified employer-sponsored retirement plans that guarantees a certain benefit when you retire. The plan may state this guaranteed benefit as an exact dollar amount or, more commonly, it may determine a benefit through a plan calculation that considers such factors as salary and service. Upon retirement, the former employees draw a dependable check from the company plan, regardless of how the market performs. The company (sponsor of the plan) bears the market risk, meaning that the worker doesn’t have to worry that a downturn will make retirement unaffordable.
