The Pension Account Modeller
Printer-friendly versionThe Pension Account Modeller is to help you understand how pension accounts work. This Modeller only shows how a pension builds up from April 2014.
The Modeller allows you to input pensionable pay details, assumed inflation and assumed pay increases to see how the value of an LGPS pension builds over the number of years you choose.
You can also choose to see how opting to join the '50/50 section' would impact on the benefits built up in a pension account.
The Modeller is not designed to provide you with an estimate of benefits. It shows how a pension will be worked out in the LGPS from 1 April 2014 onwards. It is important that you read the 'Disclaimer' below before you use the Modeller.
