Single Scheme Estimator Tool

The Single Scheme Estimator Tool is a spreadsheet-based calculator designed to give active Single Scheme members a broad indication of the level of retirement benefits that they may be eligible to receive on reaching their Normal Retirement Age.

Because Single Scheme benefits build up every time a member gets paid, it is not possible to provide a precise forecast of your retirement benefits. To be eligible to receive a retirement benefit under the Scheme, a member must have paid into the Scheme for 24 months or more.
