private pension

Personal retirement fund

A private pension is a retirement savings plan arranged through an employer or purchased individually, as opposed to government programs like Social Security.

Contributions accumulate over working years, then provide income after retirement.

Private pensions vary widely in structure—some guarantee specific payouts, others depend on investment performance.
