This is an estimate, not a number to plan around alone.
This calculator is an educational tool to help you think through scenarios. The results are illustrative estimates based on the inputs you provided and general assumptions. They are not financial advice, and the numbers shown should not be relied on as exact to your situation.
Real outcomes depend on factors a calculator can't fully model: your complete tax picture, plan-specific rules, market performance, IRS rate changes, life events, and how all the pieces of your financial life interact. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
IRS segment rates and mortality assumptions update monthly. Lump sum projections are sensitive to small rate changes, a value calculated today may differ meaningfully from your actual lump sum at retirement. Pension band amounts are approximate and vary by job title and contract year. Always verify with NetBenefits or your HR department before making decisions.
Before making any decision based on these numbers, let's talk. I'll look at your full picture, pressure-test the assumptions, and help you understand what these numbers actually mean for you, at no cost.
WANT HELP MAKING SENSE OF THESE NUMBERS?
I work with telecom employees on exactly these decisions: pension elections, DISC distributions, Rule of 75 timing, and retirement coordination.
The calculator gives you the numbers. A plan gives you clarity on what to actually do with them.
