How the TSC Pension Formula Works

01

Unreduced Pension

Months Worked ÷ 480 × Annual Basic Salary ÷ 12

This is the monthly pension where the teacher does not commute one-quarter of the pension.

02

Lump Sum

Months Worked ÷ 480 × Annual Basic Salary × ¼ × 20

This represents the commuted pension lump sum.

03

Reduced Pension

Months Worked ÷ 480 × Annual Basic Salary × ¾ ÷ 12

This is the monthly pension remaining after the one-quarter commutation.

04

Why 480?

480 = 12 × 40

The TSC schedule explains 480 as 12 months multiplied by 40 expected years of service.

Unreduced Pension vs Commuted Pension

Unreduced Pension

  • Higher monthly pension
  • No pension lump sum
  • Suitable for prioritising regular income

¼ Commutation
