Pay Scale Effective 01 January 2012
APPROXIMATE Point Value For Retirement Benefits

This Value of a Point Table assists you in determining what your APPROXIMATE gross monthly retired pay may be at age 60. The Defense Finance and Accounting Service computes the exact amount of pay when you are certified for retired pay. Computation is based on the pay scale in effect on your 60th birthday or the day you enter on the retired rolls, whichever is later. The columns are based on your total years service for pay (longevity) and may be more than your total years qualifying service (good years).

Retired Pay Application

You can now calculate your ESTIMATED retirement pay on-line. For information on using the interactive Calculate Retired Pay Application, read the "How to ESTIMATE Your Retired Pay" section. There is now an interactive Calculate Survivor Benefit Plan Application for retirement benefits and costs, read the "How to ESTIMATE Your Reserve Component Survivor Benefit Plan " section.
