Definition: Funding plan

Category: Living conditions

The timing of payments of contributions with the aim of meeting the cost of a given set of benefits under a defined benefit scheme. Possible objectives of a funding plan might be that, if the actuarial assumptions are borne out: 
a) a specified funding level should be reached by a given date; 
b) the level of contributions should remain constant,
or should after a planned period be the standard contribution rate required by the valuation method used
in the actuarial valuation. http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/ramon/statmanuals/files/oecd_pension_class_and_gloss_en_and_fr.pdf
