How it works
You enter: Basic pension, Old DR, New DR, Effective from, Paid from. The result updates as you type. It also uses Pension, family pension, additional pension at 80+, qualifying service (Old Pension Scheme) — not yet confirmed from an official order for university teachers (⚠️), so check these with your university.
Using this calculator
When it helps
- When dearness relief is raised with effect from an earlier date, to estimate the arrears.
- To check the arrears credited by your bank or treasury.
- To see how many months of arrears are due.
Keep ready
- Your basic pension, as in the PPO.
- The old and new dearness relief rates (from the orders).
- The number of months from the effective date.
Keep in mind
- If the rate changed more than once in the period, work out each stretch separately and add them.
- Dearness relief is paid on the basic pension before commutation.
- The final arrears are those paid under the treasury's or bank's order.
