Pensions Annuity Calculator
A pension lump sum is just a number until you convert it into a paycheck.
Pension values, annuity conversions and the eligibility rules that decide when a pension can start. A compact set, built around the figures members check before they claim.
Eligibility rules give this category its shape. The Rule of 80, Rule of 85 and Rule of 90 Calculators each test a different combination of age and service, the kind of rule that decides whether retirement can start now or must wait. Around them, the Pensions Annuity Calculator, transfer value, commuted value, pension expense, pension multiplier and pension distribution calculators work out what a pension is worth in its different forms — as a lump sum, as an annuity, or as a transfer to another scheme.
