Understanding Your FERS Pension Estimate

📐

The FERS Formula

Your pension equals 1% × High-3 × Years of Service. If you retire at 62 or older with 20+ years, the multiplier increases to 1.1% — adding thousands annually for life.

📈

Why Future Dollars Matter

Your salary will grow before retirement. Showing results in future dollars gives you a more accurate picture of what your pension will actually pay — matching how OPM's Ballpark Estimator calculates your benefit.

💡

The Pension Is Just the Beginning

Most FERS pensions replace only 30–45% of pre-retirement income. TSP strategy, Social Security timing, and tax planning close the gap — that's exactly what we build together in a retirement review.
