FERS Made Easy

Rules checked against OPM/TSP pages, Oct 2026

Estimate only, not financial advice. Your official figures come from OPM when your retirement is processed.

Simplifications: Uses your Social Security estimate at 62 as a stand-in. OPM recomputes it from FERS-only earnings with deemed wages, so the real figure can differ. Years are rounded to the nearest whole year and capped at 40 per 5 CFR 842.504. Earnings test uses the 2027 limit; special-provision retirees are exempt until their MRA.
