Pension

Post by grchpo »

Am i getting this wrong , for 20 years at RM is it right that my NRA 60 will be about £2,500 per year & NRA 65 about £1,500 per year, doesn't seem much to me. If this is right what lump sum can i get?

Need more details than that. When did you work? Full or part time?

As has already been said, you haven't given enough info to give a proper answer. But your numbers don't sound right for a full timer and a part timers pension will obviously be less.

You can find out a rough idea of your lump sum by using the calculations on page 12 of your 'member guide to benefits', available on the RMPP website.

Have you added the values of BOTH statements together?

You'll be in section C!

Many posties will have different amounts of pension due to hours worked, pensionable allowances, etc. So it's not as simple as 'I've done 20 years therefore I should have £x pension'.

But if yours is anything like mine, I would say rough ballpark figures from the 2020 statements from RMSPS and RMPP dated 31st March might be:

NRA60 up to 2010(10 years) around £4,000 inc. supplement
NRA65 from 2010 to 2018(8 years) around £3,200 inc. supplement
DBCBS from 2018 to 2020 around £8,000

Thanks for replies. I wasn't including the supplements as i am still working for RM. Looking at your figures mine are about the same. Still got 7 years to go to 65 so hopefully these figures will increase. Thanks.
