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.

For a step-by-step explanation using four illustrative teacher cases, including voluntary retirement and a death case, read How to Calculate Punjab Pension in 2026.
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 provides an estimate using the calculator’s configured death-case service condition. 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. 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 1 July 2024, 1 July 2025 and 1 July 2026. Personal pay can also be added where applicable. The calculator averages the three yearly totals. Other allowances are not included in average basic pay.
Gross Pension
Gross pension is calculated as average basic pay × counted qualifying service × 7/300. It is the amount calculated before the 75% net-pension step and before any voluntary-retirement reduction.
Net Pension
For superannuation and death cases, the calculator uses 75% of gross pension as the net pension amount. For voluntary retirement, the applicable reduction is then applied.
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. This is the monthly portion used in the calculation and is not the final commuted lump sum.
Gratuity
When an age factor is available for the employee's age at retirement, estimated gratuity is calculated from the commutable monthly amount, the age factor and 12.
Punjab Pension Rules Used in This Calculator

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

It adds basic pay and personal pay separately for 1 July 2024, 1 July 2025 and 1 July 2026, then divides the three yearly totals by three.
How are gross pension and net pension calculated?
