Federal Ballpark Estimate
Do you want to know how much you need in order to retire the way you want to retire?  OPM has released a web site that helps you determine what you have to save based on how many years you have to retire.

The Federal Ballpark Estimate - a savings goal worksheet - is now available on the OPM web site. The Federal Ballpark Estimate allows users to automatically calculate estimates of future Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) or Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) retirement benefits and Thrift Savings Plan account balances. It will also let you know how well you are doing in meeting your savings goal. The Federal Ballpark Estimate was developed in partnership with the American Savings Education Council of the Employee Benefits Research Institute.

The Federal Ballpark Estimate is at: http://www.opm.gov/benefits/ballpark/menu.asp.

If you have any questions about using the worksheet, please contact the Retirement and Benefits staff.
