EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Employer contributions for 2018 are expected to approximate $22.0. This increase compared to our 2017 employer contributions of $14.9 is due to our current year funding strategy, which incorporates, among other things, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation premiums, tax planning, and expectations of future funding requirements.

The following table provides interim information as to our domestic and foreign defined benefit pension plans:
