Lump Sum Conversion Factors

Pensions Effective from October 2008 through January 2009.

Under the Lump Sum Option, you may cash out or convert a portion of your monthly pension into a one-time lump sum payment. The lump sum payment is issued at the commencement date of your pension.  

If elected, your monthly pension is permanently reduced for your lifetime. In exchange for this permanent reduction, you receive a fixed lump sum amount for every one dollar that your monthly pension is reduced. This fixed lump sum amount changes each year and varies with your age at retirement. Your monthly pension may not be reduced by more than 10% and the amount of the lump sum payment may not exceed $50,000. The Lump Sum Option is not available with either a Disability or Statutory Pension. 

The table below indicates the fixed dollar amount that is payable for every one dollar that your monthly pension is reduced. It also indicates how much your pension must be reduced in order to provide you with the maximum lump sum payment. Since your pension may not be reduced by more than 10%, your actual lump sum payment may be less than the maximum amount shown in column 4.
