Computing a Retiree's Basic CSRS Annuity | | |
A CSRS retiree's basic annuity is computed based on his or her:
- Length of service (which includes unused sick leave if the person retires on an immediate annuity), and
- "High-3" average pay (which is the highest average basic pay earned during any 3 consecutive years of service).
The basic annuity cannot be more than 80 percent of the "high-3" average pay, unless the amount over 80 percent is due to crediting unused sick leave.
