    A defined benefit plan is a retirement plan in which the employer guarantees a specific benefit amount to the employee upon retirement. The total amount of money required to provide these benefits is determined based on actuarial calculations. Unlike defined contribution plans, where employees contribute to the plan, in defined benefit plans, the employer bears the responsibility for funding the plan. The specific benefit amount that an employee will receive upon retirement cannot be determined until they actually retire.
