defined benefit
B1CEFR level
50/100Rarity: uncommon
TechnicalRegister
A pension that pays a guaranteed income based on salary and length of service rather than investment returns.
Few private employers still offer defined benefit pensions, having closed them as costs spiralled.
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
