• Old age special lump sum for non qualifying members i.e total contributions plus interest
• Minimum Pension is 40% of the lowest Sartorial Statutory Minimum Wage

Rentenkasse

(i) Commuted Pension (Initial Lump sum)

CP = (1/580*N*APE) *12.5*25%

Where:-

Rentenrechner Rente Mit 63

• CP = Commuted Pension
• 1/580 = Replacement Rate
• N = Number of contributions credits
• APE = Annual Pensionable Emoluments - (APE shall be an Average of the highest three years earnings out of last 10 years preceding his retirement)
• 12.5 = Estimated pension period (Average life expectance after retirement)
• 25% = Percentage of pension paid as lump sum

(ii) Monthly retirement pension

Monthly Pension = (1/580 * N*APE)*75%*1/12

Where;

• 1/580 = Replacement Rate
• N = Number of contributions credits
• APE = Annual Pensionable Emoluments
• 75% = this is the percentage of annual pension after paying 25% commuted pension (Initial Lump sum)

Conversion formula

Members who joined the scheme before July 1998, their provident accumulated contribution balances were converted into pension credits by using the following formula: -

n = 1.5 x B

C

Where;

n = Number Insured Person’s Pension Credits as at 30th June 1998

B = Member’s NPF balance as at 30th June 1998

C = Last contribution made to the Fund before July 1998

1.5 = Conversion Factor which is constant.

This conversion formula was aimed at achieving the following objectives: -

• To obtain pension credits for founder member of NSSF
• To adjust the variation of contributions rates
• Takes care of the effects of inflation by applying the 1.5 factor

Where the result obtained from the conversion formula above is greater than 108 (i.e. if n > 108), meaning that some contributions fall in the 10% contribution period; the result is adjusted by applying 108 factors as follows:-

N = 108 + (n – 108)

2

Where;

N = New number of credits as at 30th June 1998

n = Number of credits using the Conversion Formula above.

108 = Total monthly contributions from July 1989 – June 1998
