The defined benefit part pays a guaranteed lifetime benefit based on the formula 1% x service credit years x average final compensation. Employees are vested in the plan after 10 years of service credit in most cases or after 5 years depending on the age when the service credit was earned.
CalPERS offers a defined benefit plan where retirement benefits are based on a formula, rather than contributions and earnings to a savings plan. Retirement benefits are calculated based on a member's years of service credit, age at retirement, and final compensation (average salary for a defined period of employment).
The most basic rule of thumb is the income rule, which states that your insurance need would be equal to six or eight times your gross annual income. For example, a person earning a gross annual income of $60,000 should have between $360,000 (6 x $60,000) and $480,000 (8 x $60,000) in life insurance coverage.
For almost everyone else, the best way to incorporate life insurance into retirement planning is to buy a simple term life policy with an adequate death benefit and invest any other disposable income in tax-advantaged retirement accounts.
At the end of the day - your whole life insurance is almost certainly more expensive and less efficient than other savings vehicles. 401k and Roth will always be at least as good as a taxable brokerage account and usually better.
IRA accounts cannot hold life insurance investments nor can life insurance benefits be rolled into an IRA. A 401(k) on the other hand may be invested in a life insurance contract. There are maximum percentages of total investment to follow if you are buying life insurance via a defined contribution plan.
