• Cynthia is planning to retire at age 65
• She has worked at her college for 29 years
• Her highest average pensionable earnings are $74,000
16
Cynthia’s pension calculation
Cynthia’s highest average pensionable earnings: $74,000
1.3% x $47,360 x 29 years
+
2% x $26,640* x 29 years
= Lifetime benefit from age 65 $33,306
*HAPE - AYMPE ($74,000 - $47,360 = $26,640)
17

Two kinds of early retirement pension Unreduced pension Reduced pension
18
When can I retire on an unreduced pension?
85 Factor Your age + service = 85 or more
60/20 Rule You are age 60 or more and have 20 years of
service or more
19
What if my pension is reduced?
Reduction is 3% for every year before earliest unreduced retirement date(0.25% / month)
Adjustment is permanent Applies to lifetime pension Applies to bridge benefit
20
Retiring on a reduced pension – David’s story
David is 56 and ready to retire His highest average pensionable
earnings are $75,000 His total service in the Plan is 23
years and includes purchased service
His pension will be reduced
21
Calculating the lowest reduction factor
Age 6565 - 56 = 9 years x 3% = 27%
60/20 Rule60 - 56 = 4 years x 3% = 12%
85 Factor(85-79)/2 = 3 years x 3% = 9%
22
Retiring on a reduced pension
David’s pension calculation includes an adjustment of 9%
1.3% x $47,360 x 23 years
+
2% x $27,640* x 23 years
= $26,875
– early retirement adjustment (9%) ($2,419)
= Lifetime benefit from age 56 $24,456
* HAPE - AYMPE $75,000 - $47,360 = $27,640
23
Retiring on a reduced pension
Because he is under 65, David will receive a bridgebenefit until he is 65. It will be adjusted by the same factoras his early reduced pension.
0.7% x $47,360 x 23 years = $7,625
– early retirement adjustment (9%) ($ 686)
= Bridge benefit paid to age 65 $6,939
24
David’s pension income
David will receive $31,395 a year to age 65– $2,616.25 / month to age 65
At age 65 when the bridge ends, he will receive $24,456 / year for life
