Plan math

Simple career-average / final-pay proxy

Annual pension equals final salary × accrual × years of service, capped as a percent of salary. This is a teaching model — real plans use averaging, early retirement factors, and survivor benefits.

Advanced mode

Add a benefit cap (% of final salary) and a COLA for a rough 10-year nominal sum.

Perspective

Employer formulas are more complex than one discount rate

Real pension valuations use mortality, early retirement reductions, and COLAs.

Use this only for intuition and conversation with a professional.

FAQ

Common questions

Why is my employer’s number different?

Plans use legal assumptions and actuarial factors. This is a simplified PV illustration.

What discount rate should I use?

Some people use high-quality bond yields as a rough discount anchor — your planner may prefer another rate.
