This is the free FDNY pension calculator for firefighters and fire officers. It takes about two minutes, and you don’t need to give an email to see your number.
Start with your membership date from your pension fund record, not your academy graduation. It sets your tier. EMTs and paramedics are in a different plan, so this one is for the fire side.
Then your final average salary, or your best estimate. For Tier 3, it’s the average of your highest three years in a row, with overtime and longevity included.
Next, the month you’re thinking of putting your papers in. For Tier 3, the yearly inflation raise phases in over the three years before your 23-year mark.
Your estimated yearly pension appears, with the monthly figure. It’s an estimate. Your final number comes from the pension fund.
Step 3 is your pension plan: your pension at 20 years and at 23, side by side. Leave your email, and it opens on your own figures.
Step 4 is optional. Finish five short sentences about your own retirement, and each one is written into your printout. Or skip straight to Step 5.
In Step 5, your age turns this into your Pension Printout. Then your rank at retirement. From 25 years, a share of your rank’s top pay is added to the salary your pension is figured on.
Press Get my Pension Printout. Print it or save it as a PDF, so you can put it in front of someone. The printout lays out your pension, the $12,000 a year the Variable Supplements Fund adds, and what your spouse would receive under each survivor option.
