The average annual basic pay over the plan’s averaging period — 36 months for FERS, CSRS and the military High-3 systems, the final month for military Final Pay.
Use decimals for part years, for example 30.5 for 30 years and 6 months.
FERS MRA+10 reduces the annuity by 5% for each year under 62; CSRS early retirement reduces by 2% for each year under 55.
Used by the "Other plan" option — the percentage of final average salary each year of service earns. Teacher and state plans commonly use 1.5% to 2.5%; take the exact figure from your plan handbook.

The accrual rate you entered drives this result; take it from your plan’s own summary plan description.
An estimate only. Your actual benefit is computed by the plan administrator from your official service history, high-3 or final compensation, deposits and redeposits, unused sick leave, part-time proration and court orders. Confirm every figure with the plan before making a retirement decision.

How this is worked out

5 steps
  1. Plan: Other plan. Accrual: 2% x 30 years of service.
  2. Total accrual = 60% of the 70000 final average salary = 42000 a year.
  3. No age reduction applies.
  4. No survivor annuity elected, so nothing is deducted.
  5. Monthly annuity = 42000 / 12 = 3500.
