Defined Contribution Plan (DC Plan)

A defined contribution (DC) plan is a type of retirement plan where the employer, employee, or both, make regular contributions to individual accounts for each participant. The final benefit amount depends on the contributions made and the investment performance of those contributions, rather than being predetermined. Common examples include 401(k) plans and 403(b) plans.
