Estimate only, not financial advice. Your official figures come from OPM when your retirement is processed.

Simplifications: Assumes full-time FERS-only service (no part-time, CSRS component or unpaid deposits), unused sick leave converted at 2,087 hours per year and counted in the pension amount only (never toward eligibility or the 20-year test for 1.1%; the 20-year point is our conservative reading and is not confirmed against OPM), and a regular or special-provision (LEO/FF/ATC) employee who is not a Member of Congress or disability retiree. Does not cover deferred, early (VERA/discontinued service) or disability retirement. MRA+10 reduction uses 5/12 of 1% per full month under 62. The survivor cost is shown as 10%/5% of the unreduced pension; OPM applies the exact order of reductions.
