We operate a combined scheme which comprises a defined benefit section and a defined contribution section in the UK. The defined benefit section is closed to future accruals for services rendered to the Company. We estimate that $2,937 will be contributed to the pension plan during the year ending December 31, 2019.

The total amount of employer contributions paid during the three months ended December 31, 2018 amounted to $740.

For the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the components of total periodic benefit costs were as follows:
