pension contribution

Future fund payment

A pension contribution is money paid into a retirement fund, either by an employee through payroll deductions or by an employer on the employee's behalf.

Contributions accumulate over working years and determine the eventual retirement benefit: Her employer matches pension contributions up to six percent of salary.

The term appears frequently in discussions of compensation packages and retirement planning.
