Pension Calculator Pakistan – EOBI Pension Estimate

Average Monthly Salary (Last 12 Months) *

Years of EOBI Contribution *

Introduction

The Employees' Old-Age Benefits Institution (EOBI) provides pension benefits to workers in Pakistan. Understanding your pension entitlement is essential for retirement planning. EOBI pension is calculated as 2% of your average monthly earnings in the last 12 months, multiplied by the number of years for which contributions have been made[citation:10].

What is this calculator?

The Pension Calculator Pakistan estimates your EOBI pension based on your average monthly salary and contribution years. It also provides information on eligibility for full pension (age 60 for men, 55 for women, with 15+ years contributions) and early pension (ages 55-59 for men, 50-54 for women)[citation:10].

How the calculation works

EOBI pension is calculated using a simple formula: 2% of your average monthly earnings (last 12 months) × years of contribution. For example, if your average monthly salary is Rs. 30,000 and you contributed for 20 years, your pension would be 2% × 30,000 × 20 = Rs. 12,000 per month.

Formula

Monthly Pension = 2% × Average Monthly Earnings × Years of Contribution

Minimum Pension = Rs. 5,250 per month[citation:10]

Practical Pakistan-specific example

Example: Worker with Rs. 25,000 average salary, 15 years contribution

Pension = 2% × Rs. 25,000 × 15 = Rs. 7,500 per month

Example: Worker with Rs. 15,000 average salary, 10 years contribution

Pension = 2% × Rs. 15,000 × 10 = Rs. 3,000
Since Rs. 3,000 is below minimum, pension = Rs. 5,250 per month[citation:10]

Factors affecting the result

Average salary: Higher salary leads to higher pension.
Contribution years: More years = higher pension.
Retirement age: Early pension is reduced.
Minimum pension: Rs. 5,250 floor applies[citation:10].
