Pension Calculator
Pension is the amount an employee receives on a regular basis for a lifetime after serving a government organization for at least 25 years. It is the primary support for most retired people in Pakistan.
How is The Pension Calculated in Pakistan?
Pension is calculated under a Defined Benefit Pension Plan considering the following factors.
Average Pensionable Pay
The pension amount is usually calculated based on the average of pensionable emoluments of the 24 months prior to retirement, according to the Finance Division (finance division).
Qualifying Service
Qualifying Service is calculated from the date the employee joined until the date they file a case for pension. The maximum limit for Qualifying Service is around 30 years.
Gross Pension Formula
As of early 2025, the pension in Pakistan is usually calculated using this formula:
Gross Pension = (Average Pensionable Salary × Total Service Years × 7) ÷ 300The average pensionable salary is based on the employee’s last 24 months of service. Total qualifying service is generally counted up to a maximum of 30 years. In addition, if the remaining service period is between 1 to 6 months, it is treated as the same year, while 7 to 12 months are counted as one extra year in the pension calculation.
Government Pension & Commutation Rules
Government employees at the time of retirement can commute up to 35% of their gross pension into a lump-sum amount (Source). The rules are as follows:
- Maximum Commutation: 35% of gross pension
- Commutation Factor: 12.3719
- Remaining Pension: 65% payable as monthly net pension
The lump-sum amount provided by commutation can be used by the employee for financial support, such as starting a business.
Medical Allowance for Pensioners
Medical Allowance varies based on the Basic Pay Scale (BPS) of the pensioners, which is typically as follows:
- BPS 1–15: 25% of net pension
- BPS 16–22: 20% of net pension
Minimum Pension in Pakistan
The minimum pension threshold is around PKR 10,000. If an individual’s calculated pension is less than this amount, the minimum threshold rule will automatically apply.
Retirement Age in Pakistan
The standard retirement age in Pakistan is 60 years, regardless of the employee’s date of joining. This age applies only to civil employees. Early retirement may affect the final pension and lump-sum amount. However, military personnel, police personnel, and judges have different retirement ages.
