Frequently Asked Questions
It supports High-36 (for those who entered service between 1980 and 2017), Final Pay (for those who entered before 1980), and the Blended Retirement System (BRS) for those who entered on or after January 1, 2018.
For Final Pay and High-36, the multiplier is 2.5% per year of service (capped at 75% for High-36 with 20+ years). For BRS, the multiplier is 2% per year (capped at 40% for 20+ years). The result is multiplied by your high-36 average base pay (or final base pay for Final Pay).
The calculator subtracts a simplified VA disability amount (based on your base pay and disability rating) from the retirement pay to show a net estimate. Actual VA compensation is tax-free and calculated separately.
