defined contribution pension plan

German translation: beitragsorientierter Pensionsplan

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase:defined contribution pension plan
German translation:beitragsorientierter Pensionsplan
Entered by: Rod Darby (X)

Bus/Financial - Accounting / accounts, US GAAP
English term or phrase: defined contribution pension plan
"Periodical payments to defined contribution plans are recognised in the income statement at the due date and any contributions payable are recognised in the balance sheet under other payables."
as opposed to "defined benefit pension plans" (which I also need to translate). I know this FAS-87 in US-GAAP terms, but I need "semi-official" German terms which will be recognized by German readers.
TIA,
Rod

beitragsorientierter Pensionsplan
Explanation:
The concept refers to pension plans where the level of contributions is fixed - as opposed to "defined benefit plans" ("leistungsorientierte Pläne") which provide for a set level of benefits.
