Some pension plans have a definite formula based on years of service or salary, often called defined benefit plan. Some plans base benefits on how much money has accumulated in a person's retirement account. Other plans use both ways of setting benefits. How are the benefits for [your/his/her] pension determined -- by a defined benefit formula based on years of service or salary, by the amount of money in [your/his/her] account, or in both ways?
