Most NYSLRS members can create their own pension estimates in minutes using Retirement Online. Your estimate will be based on the most up-to-date account information we have on file for you. You can enter different retirement dates and beneficiaries to see how those choices would affect your benefit. When you’re done, print your pension estimate or save it for future reference.
How to Create a Pension Estimate
To get started:
- Sign in to Retirement Online.
- Look under My Account Summary.
- Click Estimate My Pension Benefit button.
- Enter Retirement Date or Your Age at Retirement.
You can fine tune your estimate with:
- Your annual earnings and expected pay increases;
- Additional service credit (learn about requesting additional service credit); or
- The birthdate for a beneficiary.
If you enter your beneficiary’s birthdate, you’ll see the estimated monthly amounts for the pension payment options that provide a lifetime benefit for a single beneficiary and the pension payment options that provide a limited benefit for multiple beneficiaries.
Remember, the amounts are estimates, not a guarantee of what you’ll receive when you retire.
Most Tier 2 through 6 members (more than 90 percent of all NYSLRS members) can use the Retirement Online pension calculator. However, some members may not be able to—for example, members who recently transferred to NYSLRS and some PFRS members. The system will let you know if your estimate cannot be completed. In that case, please send us a message using our secure contact form (select Estimates from the Topic dropdown).
