FORMULAE FOR CALCULATION OF PENSION AND GRATUITIES

Unreduced monthly Pension: Pension paid to a teacher who does not exercise the option to commute a quarter of his pension. There is no lump sum payment.

Formula:

Unreduced Monthly Pension =No. of months worked X Annual Basic Salary X l

480                                    12

Commuted Pension (lump sum): It is that lump sum that is paid after opting to commute part of their pension. It is paid at a rate of¼ of one’s pension entitlement multiplied by 20.

Formula:

Lump sum =No. of Months worked X Annual Basic Salary X l X 20

480                                                   4

Reduced Monthly Pension: Amount paid monthly after a¼ has been paid as above. Formula:

Monthly Pension=No. of months worked X Annual Basic Salary X 3X 1

480                                                   4  12

 

 

‘  I

‘

 

 

Kenya Subsidiary Legislation, 20 I 5                                  1277

 

NB: 480 = 12×40 where 40 is expected years of service for an officer employed at 18 years old

DEATH GRATUITY

Death Gratuity for a Teacher, who has taught for at least ten years, is calculated as if the teacher had retired on the date of death as per the formula above. This is followed by monthly pension which is paid to the next- of- kin for five (5) years from the date of death.

MARRIAGE GRATUITY

It is paid at the rate of I/12th of month’s pensionable emoluments for each completed month of pensionable emoluments subject to one year’s salary whichever is less.

Hypothetical Case:

A teacher earning Kshs.30,000 per month has worked for ten years:

l X 30,000 X 10 X 12 = 300,000/=
