Pension calculators by employer

Every page runs the IRS 417(e) minimum lump sum math and adds the plan's context: whether it's still accruing or frozen, and its buyout and annuity transfer history.

How employer-specific context changes your decision

The IRS 417(e) minimum is the same calculation for every plan. The inputs change: your benefit, your start age and the month of rates your plan uses. The employer context changes too: whether the plan is frozen, whether retirees were moved to an insurer, and which payment forms the plan allows.

When a plan moves retirees to an insurer, PBGC no longer guarantees those annuities. State insurance guaranty associations back them instead. AT&T (2023), GM (2012 and 2024), Verizon (2012 and 2024), Lockheed Martin (2021, 2022 and 2025), IBM (2022 and 2024), 3M (2024), RTX (2025), Kodak (2025) and ExxonMobil (2025) have all done this for some retirees.

PBGC's guarantee for single-employer plans depends on your age when payments start and the annuity form. For 2026 a straight-life annuity is guaranteed up to $7,789.77 a month at 65, $3,505.40 at 55 and $12,931.02 at 70.

Multiemployer plans, including many Teamsters and IBEW funds, are run by joint boards of trustees, and PBGC guarantees them under a separate formula capped at $35.75 a month per year of service. UAW pensions at GM and Ford are single-employer plans sponsored by the automakers.
