For LEOs who retire at age 50 with 20 years of service, the formula is 1.7 % of the worker's average “high three” salaries multiplied by 20 years of covered service. This amount is added to 1% of the “high three” average amount multiplied by all years of service beyond the required 20 years.
The retirement calculation: When you retire, calculate 4% of your total retirement savings; this is what you can draw down during your first year. The second year, adjust for inflation by adding 3% to your first-year figure. This is your new 4%. Continue every year by adding 3% more.
The basic annuity as an employee eligible to retire under the special provisions for law enforcement officers and firefighters is computed as follows: 50% of high-3. plus 2% of high-3 multiplied by years and whole months of service exceeding 20.
A typical multiplier is 2%. So, if you work 30 years, and your final average salary is $75,000, then your pension would be 30 x 2% x $75,000 = $45,000 a year.
