 💰 Estimated Monthly Pension: $_______

 Annual Pension Estimate: $_______ (Formula for Defined Benefit Plans: Pension = (Years of Service × Multiplier) × Final Average Salary)

 How It Works:

 Defined Benefit (Traditional Pension):

 Example: 30 years of service × 1.5% multiplier × $80,000 final salary = $36,000/year ($3,000/month).

 Premature retirement? Add the reduction (for instance, the 5% penalty for retiring five years early). Defined Contribution (e.g., 401k-style):

 Enter current balance, expected returns, and withdrawal rate (e.g., 4% rule).

 Example Calculation:

 Years of Service: 25

 Final Salary: $75,000

 2% multiplier Monthly Pension: (25 × 0.02) × $75,000 = $37,500/year ($3,125/month).

 Key Factors Affecting Pension:

 Years worked: a higher pension is a result of more service.  Salary Growth: Payouts rise as a result of a higher final salary. Benefits may be reduced if you retire early. ✔ Inflation Adjustments: Check if your pension is COLA-adjusted.

 Tips to Maximize Pension:

 Work longer to increase service years.

 Negotiate salary raises (impacts final average salary).

 Understand plan rules (e.g., multipliers, penalties).
