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).
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.
Any questions you have concerning Social Security benefits or the Thrift Savings Plan should be directed to the offices shown above. Generally, your FERS benefit is 1% of your “high-3” average salary multiplied by your years and months of service.
