The Big Two

There are two ways to figure out your pension benefits. These depend on your start date with the City of Pittsburgh.

1. Members Hired 1975 to 1987
2. Members Hired 1988 and Beyond

Note: All calculations are based on the requirements of age 60 with 20 years credited service with the City. You can, however, retire at age 50 with 8 years credited service, with a reduction in your pension. To calculate this reduction, see the Penalty Box below.

Penalty Box

You can retire with a minimum of age 50 with 8 years credited service.

To calculate the reduction for age reduce the benefit 1/2 percent for each month you are short attainment of age 60.

• For example, 6% reduction per year.

To calculate the reduction for service pro-rate the number of months' credited service over 240 months.

• For example, for 10 years credited service, the benefit would be reduced one half.

For any questions about calculating your pension call the Pension Office at 412-255-2655.
