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

Where:-

  • 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)

  • 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)

Where;

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