Figuring Retirement, Should I stay or do I go?

FAC, 3 consecutive years highest compensation for MIP, Use 5 years for Basic.
Multiply FAC X .016 ( 1.6%) X Years of Service(YOS) = Annual Pension
Or: FAC x .016 x 30 = Pension Divide this number by 12 to get monthly amount.

If you do not have 30 years, but you have years plus age = 80, then use the multiplier of .0155.
FAC x .0155 x 30 = Pension

If you are Basic, use the Highest Consecutive 5 Years of your pay.

Here is an example for someone making roughly $55,000.


Current 30 Years Now Rule of 80
1 $54,000 $54,000 $54,000
2 $55,000 $55,000 $55,000
3 $56,000 $56,000 $56,000
FAC $55,000 $55,000 $55,000
FAC $55,000 $55,000 $55,000
Multiplier 0.015 0.016 0.0155
$825 $880 $853
Years of Service 30 30 30
Annual Pension $24,750 $26,400 $25,575
Monthly Pension $2,063 $2,200 $2,131
FAC, 3 consecutive years highest compensation
Use 5 Years for Basic



Note: These are just approximate figures, you need to work with the Office of Retirement Systems to get accurate numbers for your data.
