Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

What is the FERS retirement formula?

The basic FERS annuity formula is: (High-3 Average Salary) × (Years of Service) × (1% for age 62+ with 20+ years, otherwise 1%). For early retirement, there are age reductions.

How are survivor benefits calculated?

If you elect a survivor benefit, your annuity is reduced by 10% for a full survivor benefit (50% of your annuity) or 5% for a partial survivor benefit (25% of your annuity).

What is the high-3 average salary?

This is the average of your highest 3 consecutive years of basic pay. It includes locality pay but excludes bonuses, overtime, and allowances.

Are there cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs)?

Yes, FERS retirees receive COLAs starting at age 62. The COLA is the lesser of the CPI increase or 2%, with any excess above 2% added at 1% less than the CPI increase.
