Two very different designs

Section 1 of 5

Workplace pensions mostly come in two designs: defined contribution and defined benefit. They answer a different question.

A defined contribution pension defines what goes in: contributions build a personal pot that is invested. A defined benefit pension defines what comes out: a promised income based on your salary and years of service. Some people have both kinds from different jobs.

Before you start: how confident do you feel about this topic?

1 = not at all confident, 5 = very confident. Optional.
