Important: Check Which Pension Scheme Applies
This calculator applies the configured Punjab pension calculation model shown on this page. The Punjab Finance Department — Pension Reforms page states that a funded defined-contribution pension scheme applies to new public-sector entrants from 8 January 2024.
If you were appointed on or after that date, or your appointment is governed by a different pension scheme, do not assume that this calculator’s pension model applies to you. Confirm your scheme, appointment status and applicable rules with your department or Accountant General Punjab before relying on the estimate.

Retirement Type
Choose Superannuation for normal retirement, Voluntary Retirement for an eligible early-retirement case, or Death Case when estimating benefits for a death case. The selected option affects the eligibility checks and, for voluntary retirement, the applicable reduction.
The Death option is for death in service: at least 10 completed years of qualifying service; the date of death must be on or before the superannuation date. It does not calculate family-pension entitlement, beneficiary shares, payment duration or succession-related benefits.
Employee Information, BPS and Service Dates
The name, department and designation identify the case. Select BPS 1 to BPS 22; the calculator uses BPS 1–15 as Non-Gazetted and BPS 16–22 as Gazetted for the medical-allowance estimate. Enter valid dates in the correct order so the calculator can measure service and retirement age.
Average Basic Pay Details
For each 1 July reference date, enter basic pay in rupees. Personal pay is optional and is added to basic pay for that year. Other allowances should not be entered as part of average basic pay.
How Is Punjab Pension Calculated?
Punjab pension is estimated using the average pensionable pay for the relevant three 1 July reference dates and the qualifying service counted for pension purposes. The calculator then shows the estimated gross pension, net pension and other pension-related amounts.
How Is Qualifying Service Calculated?
The calculator calculates service from your appointment date to your retirement date. Completed years are counted; a remaining period of six months or more counts as one more full year, and less than six months is ignored. Eligibility for voluntary retirement and death in service uses completed years only. It shows the actual service period and applies the maximum counted service used in the calculation. Service above 30 years remains visible as actual service but does not increase counted service beyond the limit.
Average Basic Pay for Pension
Enter your basic pay for the last three 1 July dates on or before the retirement date. Personal pay can also be added where applicable. The calculator averages the three yearly totals. Other allowances are not included in average basic pay. No retiring-year (notional) increment is added (Finance Department clarification No. FD.SR-III-4-237/2024 dated 30.05.2025).
Gross Pension
Gross pension is calculated as average basic pay × counted qualifying service × 7/300. For voluntary retirement, the age-based reduction is taken from this gross pension before the 75% / 25% split.
Net Pension
Net pension is 75% of gross pension. For voluntary retirement, the reduction is taken from gross pension first; net pension (75%) and the commutable portion (25%) are both worked out from the reduced gross pension.
Medical Allowances
The calculator classifies BPS 1–15 as Non-Gazetted and BPS 16–22 as Gazetted. Medical Allowance 2010 is estimated at 20% of net pension for Gazetted employees and 25% for Non-Gazetted employees. Medical Allowance 2015 is 25% of Medical Allowance 2010 for both classifications. Both components are shown separately in the result.
Commutation
The commutable pension amount is estimated as 25% of gross pension (of the reduced gross pension for voluntary retirement). This is the monthly portion used in the calculation and is not the final commuted lump sum.
Gratuity
The commutation rate is read from the commutation table at age next birthday: the age completed on the retirement date (or date of death) plus one, maximum 60. For example, 56 years 1 day or 56 years 8 months gives age 57 and a rate of 13.9888; superannuation gives age 60 and 12.3719. Estimated gratuity = commutable monthly amount × rate × 12.
Punjab Pension Rules Used in This Calculator
- Superannuation uses age 60; the day before the 60th birthday is treated as the age-completion boundary.
- Voluntary retirement: on completing 25 years of qualifying service or reaching age 55, whichever is later.
- Death in service: at least 10 completed years of qualifying service; the date of death must be on or before the superannuation date.
- Counted service is completed years, plus one year for a remaining period of six months or more (less than six months is ignored), capped at 30 years. Service above 30 years is shown as actual service.
- Voluntary reduction applies only to voluntary retirement. It is taken from gross pension before commutation, by completed age (months and days ignored): 10%, 8%, 6%, 4% and 2% for ages 55 through 59 (Finance Department clarification No. FD.SR-III-4-237/2024 dated 30.05.2025).

Main calculation steps
- Average basic pay = (Rs 120,000 + Rs 125,000 + Rs 130,000) ÷ 3 = Rs 125,000
- Gross pension = Rs 125,000 × 30 × 7 ÷ 300 = Rs 87,500
- Net pension = Rs 87,500 × 75% = Rs 65,625
- Medical Allowance 2010 = Rs 65,625 × 20% = Rs 13,125
- Medical Allowance 2015 = Rs 13,125 × 25% = Rs 3,281.25
- Total monthly pension = Rs 65,625 + Rs 13,125 + Rs 3,281.25 = Rs 82,031.25
- Commutable pension amount = Rs 87,500 × 25% = Rs 21,875
- Estimated gratuity = Rs 21,875 × 12.3719 × 12 = Rs 3,247,623.75

What are the age and service requirements for voluntary retirement?
On completing 25 years of qualifying service or reaching age 55, whichever is later. Eligibility counts completed years only; the six-month rounding applies to the pension amount, not to eligibility.
How is qualifying service calculated?
The calculator measures the period from appointment to retirement and shows years, months and days. Completed years are counted; a remaining period of six months or more counts as one more full year, and less than six months is ignored. Counted service is capped at 30 years.
How is the last three years average basic pay calculated?
It adds basic pay and personal pay separately for the last three 1 July dates on or before the retirement date, then divides the three yearly totals by three. No retiring-year (notional) increment is added, as stated in Finance Department clarification No. FD.SR-III-4-237/2024 dated 30.05.2025.
How are gross pension and net pension calculated?
The calculator multiplies average basic pay by counted qualifying service and 7/300, with counted service capped at 30 years. Net pension is 75% of gross pension. For voluntary retirement, the age-based reduction is first taken from gross pension, and the 75% net pension and 25% commutable portion are both worked out from the reduced gross pension.
How are commutation and gratuity calculated?
The commutable monthly pension portion is 25% of gross pension (of the reduced gross pension for voluntary retirement). The commutation rate is read from the table at age next birthday: the age completed on the retirement date (or date of death) plus one, maximum 60. For example, 56 years 1 day or 56 years 8 months gives age 57 and a rate of 13.9888; superannuation gives age 60 and 12.3719. Estimated gratuity = commutable monthly amount × rate × 12.
How is medical allowance calculated?

Does the Death option calculate family pension?
No. The Death option estimates the pension for death in service: at least 10 completed years of qualifying service, and the date of death must be on or before the superannuation date. It does not determine family-pension eligibility, beneficiary shares, payment duration or succession-related benefits.
Why should qualifying service be checked from the service book?
An official pension case depends on verified service records. Appointment dates, leave, interruptions, qualifying service and other entries should be confirmed from the service book by the department and Accountant General Punjab.
Is this an official Punjab Government pension calculation or PPO?
No. HisaabKit provides a planning estimate only. The result is not an official Punjab Government pension sanction, Pension Payment Order, pension case calculation or departmental decision.
