We anticipate making additional defined benefit pension contributions during the remainder of 2017 of $10 million for our U.S. and U.K. pension plans. Approximately $134 million of the estimated $135 million of pension contributions for the full year are voluntary. These contributions may be made from trusts or company funds either to increase pension assets or to make direct benefit payments to plan participants. We expect our 2017 net periodic pension cost to approximate $83 million.
The components of net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit costs under our plans were as follows:
