§ 26805 Retirement Benefit Calculation

Key Takeaways

  • •When you retire, you get money from two places: your account and your boss's account.
  • •The total money you get is just adding up what's in both accounts on the day you retire.
  • •This money is only for when you stop working for good, not if you quit or get fired.

Example

Imagine you work at a company for 30 years and then decide to retire.

The company has been putting money into your retirement account and their own account for you. When you retire, you get all the money from both accounts added together.
