Pension benefits
Pension benefits are a form of retirement income provided by an employer or government program. When you work, a portion of your salary may go into a pension plan, which grows over time. Upon retirement, you receive regular payments based on your earnings, years of service, and the plan’s rules. This income helps support you financially when you’re no longer working. Some pensions are defined benefit plans, offering a guaranteed amount, while others are defined contribution plans, where the payout depends on the investment performance. Overall, pensions aim to provide financial stability in retirement.
