Defined-Contribution Plan

A defined-contribution (DC) plan is a retirement plan that’s typically tax-deferred, like a 401(k) or a 403(b), in which employees contribute a fixed amount or a percentage of their paychecks to an account that is intended to fund their retirements.

These plans place restrictions that control when and how each employee can withdraw from these accounts without penalties.
