The issue that was affecting the Partial Retirement Calculator has been resolved.
The Partial Retirement Calculator can be accessed from the partial retirement page of the website: Partial retirement | NHSBSA
As a reminder, members can use the Partial Retirement Calculator to see:
-
how much lump sum and annual pension they might want to claim when they take partial retirement
-
the amount their pension benefits will grow for every year they carry on working as a member of the 2015 Scheme, helping them to plan when might be the best time to fully retire – the calculator will show figures for up to 8 years in the future
-
any impact on benefits caused by ‘abatement’ in the first 12 months after partial retirement – this refers to the effect on pension when pay after partial retirement added to pension is more than salary before partial retirement
-
for members affected by McCloud, how much their pension is worth depending on the benefits they choose for their pensionable service between 1 April 2015 and 31 March 2022
-
what percentage of their pension to take at partial retirement to avoid having to repay overpaid pension when they make their McCloud choice later on – this is referenced in the calculator as ‘safe percentage’.
