Calculation of annual pension for membership between 1 April 2008 and 31 March 2014

Your annual pension is calculated by dividing your membership between 1 April 2008 and 31 March 2014 by 60. Then this figure is multiplied by your final salary pensionable pay.

Your annual pension = membership between 1 April 2008 and 31 March 2014 x 1/60th x final salary pensionable pay.

Examples of how your deferred pension is worked out for membership between 1 April 2008 and 31 March 2014

If you work full time

You leave with 6 years full-time membership in the scheme and a final year's pay of £18,000.

Your deferred annual pension is:
6 years x 1/60th x £18,000 = £1,800

If you work part time

The same formula is used. However, your membership is scaled down to the part time equivalent length. It is based on your contractual hours. Your final salary pensionable pay is scaled up to the whole time equivalent rate.

You leave after 6 years working half-time. You worked 18.5 hours a week in a job where the full time hours are 37 per week. Your part-time final pay was £9,000.

Membership used in calculating benefits is :
6 years x 18.5 ÷ 37 hours = 3 years

Final salary pensionable pay used is the whole time equivalent of £18,000.

Your deferred annual pension is:
3 years x 1/60th x £18,000 = £900

You paid half the contributions and receive half the benefits of a person working whole time.
