Strong salary replacement: 60%
Your IPERS pension replaces 60% of your highest 5-year average salary ($87,418). Combined with Social Security, you should have a comfortable retirement.
Rule of 88 satisfied — no early reduction
At age 62 with 32 years of service, your combined total is 94. Since this meets the Rule of 88, you receive your full unreduced benefit even before age 65.
Maximum 30-year benefit reached
IPERS caps the multiplier at 30 years of service (60% of your highest average salary). Your 32 years means you've maximized the IPERS formula. Additional years don't increase your benefit percentage.
Combined IPERS + Social Security: $74,051/year
Your IPERS pension ($52,451) plus Social Security ($21,600) provides $74,051/year or $6,171/month in retirement income. Note: Social Security doesn't start until age 67.
Lifetime pension value: $1,652,939
Over 26 years of retirement, your IPERS pension will pay out approximately $1,652,939 in total benefits including 1.5% annual COLA adjustments.
