A defined benefit plan is 'defined' in the sense that the benefit formula is defined and known in advance. Conversely, for a "defined contribution retirement saving plan," the formula for computing the employer's and employee's contributions is defined and known in advance, but the benefit to be paid out is not known in advance.

In the latter case, IRAs can be a bit restrictive, with yearly contribution limits of just $7,000 for adults under 50 and $8,000 for adults 50 and older in both 2024 and 2025.
