* The examples provided are for illustrative purposes only. The annual pension will be different from the amounts shown. All examples are based on an assumed “annualized earnings” (as defined in the HOOPP Plan Text), average year’s maximum pensionable earnings (YMPE) of $57,400, no hourly earnings increases, and part-time hours worked with full-time equivalent of 37.5 hours per week; all examples exclude any cost of living adjustments (COLA) that may be provided, assume that employer and employee contribution rates do not change, and do not consider inflation in any way. The monthly pension assumes that for each year of contributory service, members receive 1.5% of their average earnings up to the average YMPE, plus 2% of their average annualized earnings above the average YMPE. Calculations do not reflect an increase to 1.75% of annualized earnings up to the average YMPE for any service before Apr 1, 2021.
