Example Calculation
Let's say you have 30 years of service and your final average salary is $75,000. Using the Rochester Regional Health pension formula:
Pension Benefit = (30 × $75,000) × 0.02 = $4,500/month
This would translate to:
- $4,500 per month
- $54,000 per year
- Lifetime benefits based on your remaining years
