Pensions.

The relationship at a specified date (often the valuation date) between the value of the assets and the value of the liabilities of a defined benefit pension scheme, often expressed as a ratio (the ‘funding ratio’).

The funding level is frequently expressed as a percentage.


Example

When assets = 100

Liabilities = 90

The funding level is:

90 / 100

= 90%.


(Not to be confused with the deficit, which in this example is 100 - 90 = 10.)
