Ordinary pension

You will be paid an ordinary pension if:

• you leave service age 50 or over with at least 25 years' pensionable service
• you leave service before age 50 and have at least 30 years' pensionable service

Example

If your final pay was £30,000 and you had:

• 20 years' service worth 20/60 of your final pay and
• 5 years' service worth 10/60 of your final pay

your pension would be 30/60 of your final pay:

(£30,000 × 30) ÷ 60 = £15,000 a year

The pensionable service would be scaled down to reflect any periods of part time service. The pension would be index linked from age 55.
