The key difference between a defined contribution plan and a 401(k) plan is that a 401(k) plan is a type of defined contribution plan. In a defined contribution plan, the employer and/or employee contribute funds to the plan, which are then invested. In a 401(k) plan, employees can contribute a portion of their salary to the plan on a pre-tax basis, and employers may also make matching contributions.
