Monthly Benefit

The formula used to calculate your monthly benefit is:

service credit months / 12 x 2% x final average salary^*= monthly benefit

Example

300 months of service / 12 = 25 years x 2% = .05 x $95,000 = $4,750 per month

^*Average your monthly salary from the highest-paid 60 consecutive months in which you earned service credit. Usually, this is your last 60 months of service.
