Thinking of returning to teaching after retirement? This calculator shows you an estimate of how much you'll be able to earn without it affecting your pension.

You'll only need to consider this if you've taken, or are taking, your pension benefits as Age or Premature retirement, and some or all of your pension benefits come from the final salary scheme.

To use this calculator, you'll need to know the following information:-

• your "salary of reference" - The highest annual salary used in the calculation of your average salary.
• your "salary of reference effective date" - The day after the last date you received that salary rate
• your "gross annual pension" - The current annual value of your pension before tax

If you haven't retired, these values can be found on your Benefit Statement.

If you've retired but have not passed your retirement date, these values can be found on your pension award papers.

If you've retired and passed your retirement date, you can get an estimated earning limit figure by viewing the Maximum Earnings Limit page.

Please note - only earnings for employment recognised by the Teachers' Pension Scheme need to be considered. Earnings from non-teaching work won't affect your pension.
