Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Florida pension calculated?
The Florida Retirement System uses this formula: Years of Service × Final Average Salary × 1.6%. Your “final average salary” is based on your highest 5-year average. For example, with 25 years of service and a $60,000 final average salary: 25 × $60,000 × 0.016 = $24,000 per year.
When can I retire with a full pension in Florida?
Full retirement eligibility in Florida: Age 65 with 8 years, or 33 years of service regardless of age. You may be able to retire earlier with a reduced benefit — contact Florida Retirement System directly for your specific eligibility date based on your hire date and tier.
Does Florida pension replace Social Security?
Florida pension members also participate in Social Security. You will receive both your state pension AND Social Security benefits in retirement — two separate income streams.
