Calculate family pension estimate
Enter reckonable emoluments and choose the applicable rate.
Rates shown
DESW currently describes ordinary family pension at 30% of reckonable emoluments at the normal rate, Special Family Pension at 60%, and Liberalised Family Pension equal to reckonable emoluments for the specified operational categories. DESW policy material also describes the enhanced ordinary-family-pension rate as 50% for the applicable period.
Do not select a rate only because it pays more
The category and duration are determined by the circumstances of death, service status, qualifying conditions and applicable pension regulations. The calculator only performs the arithmetic after you choose a rate.
Minimum pension and PPO
Minimum pension, revised notional pay, OROP and other later orders may affect the payable amount. Always compare the result with the PPO/latest revision.
