FERS Basics
FERS is a defined benefit plan, which means that your retirement benefit is based on your years of service and your average salary during your highest-earning three consecutive years of service. Your benefit is calculated as a percentage of your average salary, multiplied by your years of service.
The FERS formula is:
Benefit = (1% x Average Salary) x Years of Service
For example, if you retire with an average salary of $50,000 and 25 years of service, your annual benefit would be $12,500.
FERS also provides a number of other benefits, including:
- A Thrift Savings Plan (TSP),which is a tax-advantaged retirement savings account
- A life insurance policy
- A health insurance plan
- A disability insurance plan
Planning for Your FERS Retirement
Planning for your FERS retirement is important to ensure that you have enough money to live comfortably in retirement. Here are a few tips to help you get started:
- Start saving early. The sooner you start saving for retirement, the more time your money has to grow.
- Contribute as much as you can to your TSP. The TSP is a tax-advantaged retirement savings account, which means that your contributions grow tax-free. You can contribute up to $19,500 to your TSP in 2023.
- Make catch-up contributions if you're over age 50. If you're over age 50, you can make catch-up contributions to your TSP. Catch-up contributions are additional contributions that you can make to your TSP in addition to the regular contribution limit.
- Consider working part-time or full-time after you retire. If you're not ready to retire fully, you can consider working part-time or full-time after you retire. This can help you to supplement your retirement income.
- Get help from a financial advisor. If you're not sure how to plan for your FERS retirement, you can get help from a financial advisor. A financial advisor can help you to develop a retirement plan that meets your individual needs.
FERS Changes in 2024
There are a few changes to FERS that will take effect in 2024. These changes include:
- The FERS minimum retirement age will increase from 55 to 57 for employees who are first hired on or after January 1, 2024.
- The FERS maximum retirement age will increase from 62 to 63 for employees who are first hired on or after January 1, 2024.
- The FERS cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) will be calculated using a new formula that is based on the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W). The CPI-W is a measure of inflation that is calculated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
