Estimate your pensions benefits:
Please note that any estimates provided relate only to Established and Non-Established Civil Servants and Prison Officers who are not members of the new Single Public Service Pension Scheme (“Single Scheme”) which commenced with effect from 1st January 2013 and applies to new entrants recruited after this date.
The Pensions Modeller is designed to help you get an estimate of your projected pensions benefits based on your actual salary and service details supplied by you. It will on this basis estimate:
** pensions benefits at retirement for a selected retirement age
** spouses and children’s benefits
** death in service benefits
** preserved benefits if you resign before minimum retirement age
** actuarially reduced benefits before minimum retirement age
The calculators will not take into account salary increases between now and retirement.
Project different scenarios:
It also allows you to model various possibilities for example:
** you may enter a salary to reflect your projected progress on a payscale or career progression
** you can select your % work pattern from now to retirement date to take account of projected unpaid breaks such as career breaks or term time absence or a period of worksharing.
** you may compare the effect different retirement ages would have on your pension benefits
