The Pension Benefit Calculator allows you to obtain a retirement allowance estimate based on user input data. Do not rely on the estimate as a final determination of your retirement allowance. Your use of the Calculator has no binding effect on MERS or the participating employer. The Pension Benefit Calculator is provided for informational purposes only. By inputting different service years, compensation amounts, and beneficiary designations, you can use the Calculator to approximate what your pension would be under various retirement scenarios. Actual benefits can be determined only by MERS after termination of employment and verification of employer-supplied wage, service, and benefit program information.

If you are an active or deferred member in MERS' defined benefit program within 10 years of retirement, you may request that a MERS-calculated benefit estimate be mailed to you by going to Online Benefit Estimate, or contacting MERS Pension Services, 1134 Municipal Way, Lansing MI (1-800-767-2308).
