Q. I have questions on calculating the FERS annuity.
Assume for simplicity’s sake that my high-3 is $50,000.
When you say years and months, is that decimal — i.e., 20 years and six months would be 20.5? If so, 20 years at age 60 (multiplier of .01) is $10,250 and if 62 (multiplier of .011), $11,275? Second, this is the annual annuity, so the monthly check is that amount divided by 12 or $854.16/ $939.58 per month and then taxes, etc., are deducted? Am I missing anything here?
A. Well done. You are right on all counts.
