Tier 1 Annual Pension Increases
Your pension is increased by 3% of your original pension amount on January 1 of each year. You can find the amount of your increase in your Annual Statement of Benefits.
Your annual increase amount does not change. The amount is always 3% of your original pension amount, not 3% of your current pension payment. For example:
| $500.00 monthly pension effective January 1, 2015 | |
|---|---|
| Monthly amount in 2015 | $500.00 |
| Annual increase amount is calculated (3% of original pension amount) |
$500.00 x 3% = $15.00 |
| Every future annual increase will be $15.00 | |
| Year | Monthly Amount |
| 2016 | $515.00 |
| 2017 | $530.00 |
| 2018 | $545.00 |
| 2019 | $560.00 |
| 2020 | $575.00 |
| 2021 | $590.00 |
| 2022 | $605.00 |
