retirement contribution

Future fund payment

A retirement contribution is money deposited into a retirement savings account such as a 401(k), IRA, or pension plan.

Contributions may come from the worker, the employer, or both: My company matches retirement contributions up to six percent.

Tax laws typically limit how much can be contributed annually and may offer tax advantages for contributing.
