How to Calculate FERS Retirement?

Determine your High-3 average salary

Identify your total creditable FERS service

Convert unused sick leave to additional service credit, if applicable

Use the basic FERS annuity formula

Multiply 1% of your High-3 by your years of creditable service

Use 1.1% instead of 1% if you are age 62 or older with at least 20 years of service

Add any special category or enhanced service credit if applicable

Subtract any age reduction if you retire before the minimum retirement age and do not qualify for an unreduced annuity

Apply any survivor election reduction, if applicable

Apply any court-ordered or other deductions, if applicable

Add the FERS annuity supplement only if you qualify

Estimate your monthly annuity by dividing the annual amount by 12
