5 BASIC COMPONENTS OF THE ANNUITY The amount of the annuity benefit is based upon: High 3-years average salary And Length of creditable service
6 BASIC COMPONENTS OF THE ANNUITY FERS is a three tier retirement system consisting of: 1. FERS basic benefit 2. Social Security 3. Thrift Savings Plan
7 ANNUITY COMPUTATION Shortcut formula: Years of service - 2 x 2 = Basic annuity expressed as % of high-3 Example: 30 years of service 2 = 28 X 2 = 56 Basic annuity = 56% of high - 3
8 ANNUITY COMPUTATION (FERS) FERS Basic Benefit Plan 1% of your high-3 average pay times your years of creditable service If you retire at age 62 or later with at least 20 years of service, a factor of 1.1.% is used rather than 1%
9 ANNUITY ESTIMATES Estimates can also be viewed online via eretire from the LITEBLUE LINK: Under Employee App Select eretire
10 Part-time service: For Internal Use Only ANNUITY ESTIMATES (CSRS) Performed before April 7, 1986 treated as full-time service for annuity computation On or after April 6, 1986 is subject to a different annuity formula using proration factor
11 ANNUITY ESTIMATES (CON T) Proration factor is generally the number of hours a part-time employee works divided by the number of hours an employee would have worked if full-time Part time computation requires a manual annuity estimate

Reduced $1 for every $2 you earn over social security allowance. You would need to check with social security each year for the new earnings limit.

15 SPECIAL RETIREMENT SUPPLEMENT (FERS) Example: Your estimated full career social security benefit would be $1,000 and you had worked 30 years under FERS Divide 30 by 40 (.75) and multiply ($1,000 x.75 = $750).
