The NYS Retirement Quick Calculator estimates the annual pension for Tier 6 members of the New York State Retirement System. It uses the standard formula for members with less than 20 years of service.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the NYS retirement formula:

\[ Pension = 1.66\% \times YS \times FAE \quad \text{if } YS < 20 \]

\( FAE \) — Final average earnings (USD)
\( 1.66\% \) — Pension multiplier for Tier 6 members
