Employee Pension Scheme: EPFO provides many types of facilities to the employees working in the private sector. EPS is a pension scheme run by EPFO. Actually, every month 12 percent of the employee’s basic salary + DA is deposited in the PF account. The employer’s contribution is also the same.
Out of this, 8.33% amount goes to the employee’s pension fund (EPS Fund) and the remaining 3.67% amount goes to the PF account. After the age of 58 years, the employee gets the amount deposited in the PF account in lump sum, but his PF amount is decided under a formula based on his contribution. Let us tell you what that formula is and how much pension you will get after retirement? Know its calculation here.
This is the pension formula-
The formula for how much pension you will get after retirement is – Monthly salary of the employee = Pensionable salary According to the current rules, 8.33% of the salary of any employee is deposited in his pension account. However, the maximum limit of pensionable salary is Rs 15 thousand. In such a situation, if a person’s salary is Rs 15000, then Rs 15000 X 8.33 /100 = Rs 1250 will go to his pension account every month.
Now if the calculation is done according to the pension formula, then if someone’s monthly salary (average salary of the last 60 months) is Rs 15 thousand and the tenure of the job is 20 years, then the monthly pension will be 15000X 20/70 = Rs 4286. Whereas if the tenure of a person’s job is 25 years, then his monthly salary will be Rs 15000 If the limit of Rs 15 thousand is removed and your salary is Rs 30 thousand, then the pension you will get as per the formula will be this. (30,000 X 30)/70 = 12,857
