FAQs
The contribution is what your client pays in each year while participating in the plan to accumulate enough to make the pre-determined annual benefit. Unlike defined contribution plans (e.g., 401(k)s, SEPs, SIMPLEs, etc.,) which have limits on the amount that can be contributed, defined benefit plans have limits on the benefit that can be paid out. This limit is increased actuarially for benefits beginning after age 65. For this reason, contributions for older participants can be much higher.
