Compensation earned by an individual, the receipt of which is postponed until a later date, usually upon termination of employment or retirement. Typically, the deferred amounts are invested on the recipient's behalf and may be supplemented by contributions by the company. If the compensation arrangement meets certain requirements, an individual may not pay income taxes on the compensation until he or she receives a distribution of some or all of the deferred amounts.
