What Is The Formula For Pension

A pension is a retirement benefit typically provided by employers to their employees after a certain period of service. The calculation for pension benefits depends on some elements and also the type of retirement plan. The amount of pension is usually determined by a formula and this formula takes into account:

Number of years of service
Salary
Accrual rate
