Please note that the amount of the retirement annuity using this Benefit Calculator is ESTIMATED. It is an approximation. Unlike the final benefit calculation performed at the time of retirement based on records of the Fund, this calculation is based solely on the input provided by the user. Therefore, the accuracy of the estimate is entirely dependent upon the information entered by the user. Under no circumstances is this estimate to be considered as a guarantee of future benefits. Final computation will be made at the time your application for annuity is processed.
When the information provided accurately reflects the rank and service history of the participant, the estimate will be comparable to an estimate produced by a Fund benefit analyst, with the following exceptions:
- Participants with multiple periods of employment with the Chicago Fire Department
- Participants terminating with less than 20 years of service
- Participants that purchased additional service credits
- Participants with full months of time loss
- Participants holding exempt rank positions
- Participants whose disability started before January 16, 2004
- Participants beginning on or after January 1, 2011
Calculations for participants in these situations require accurate period-by-period contribution history as well as other additional personal information. These cases are beyond the scope of this benefit estimation worksheet at this time.
