Calculating Benefits

If you are vested in the OPSRP Pension Program and you retire at normal retirement age, you will receive an annual pension for life. The pension benefit is calculated as follows:

For service when you were in a General Service classification, the calculation is 1.5 percent of your final average monthly salary multiplied by the number of years of retirement credit attributable to General Service.
For service as a police officer or a firefighter, your pension is 1.8 percent of your final average salary multiplied by the number of years of retirement credit attributable to service as a police officer or firefighter.

If you are vested, you may retire when you reach earliest retirement date age. Your benefit will be reduced to the actuarial equivalent of the pension that you would be paid if you retired at normal retirement age.
