Because Single Scheme benefits build up every time a member gets paid, it is not possible to provide a precise forecast of your retirement benefits. To be eligible to receive a retirement benefit under the Scheme, a member must have paid into the Scheme for 24 months or more.<\/p>\n<p>The Estimator Tool in the table below will, based on user-inputs, provide Single Scheme members in the following category types with a broad estimate of their retirement benefits at the relevant Normal Retirement Age:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Standard Accrual members<\/li>\n<li>Fast Accrual (Uniformed) members<\/li>\n<li>Members of the Judiciary<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The estimators are not suitable for members of the Oireachtas including the President; the Comptroller and Auditor General and other qualifying and designated office holders;<\/p>\n<p>You should read the appropriate \u201cEstimator Tool \u2013 At A Glance Guide\u201d below before using the Estimator Tool<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 175.333px;\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 827.333px;\">Single Scheme Member Estimator Tool<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 175.333px;\"><strong>Date of Issue<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 827.333px;\">11 June 2021<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h1><\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0d9bd4;\">Estimator Tool &#8211; Standard, Fast Accrual (Uniformed) and Members of the Judiciary<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n<hr style=\"height: 1px; background: #0d9bd4;\" \/>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-41-no-2\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-41\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Descriptor<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Type<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">Link<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/singlepensionscheme.gov.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/2024_Single_Scheme_Estimator-Tool-.xlsm\"target=\"_blank\">Standard, Fast Accrual (Uniformed) and Judiciary Member Estimator Tool <\/a><\/td><td class=\"column-2\"><a href=\"http:\/\/singlepensionscheme.gov.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/2024_Single_Scheme_Estimator-Tool-.xlsm\"target=\"_blank\">Calculation Tool<\/a><\/td><td class=\"column-3\"><a href=\"http:\/\/singlepensionscheme.gov.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/2024_Single_Scheme_Estimator-Tool-.xlsm\"target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"https:\/\/singlepensionscheme.gov.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/EXCEL.png\" alt=\"Microsoft Excel document icon\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-202\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/singlepensionscheme.gov.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Single-Scheme-Estimator-Tool-2021-AAG.pdf\">Standard, Fast Accrual (Uniformed) and Judiciary Estimator Tool \u2013 At a Glance Guide<\/a><\/td><td class=\"column-2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/singlepensionscheme.gov.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Single-Scheme-Estimator-Tool-2021-AAG.pdf\">At a Glance Guide <\/a><\/td><td class=\"column-3\"><a href=\"https:\/\/singlepensionscheme.gov.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Single-Scheme-Estimator-Tool-2021-AAG.pdf\"_blank\"><img src=\"https:\/\/singlepensionscheme.gov.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/PDF.png\" alt=\"PDF icon\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-205\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table style=\"height: 148px; width: 1023px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 97px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 164.667px; height: 97px;\"><strong>Note on macros<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 842px; height: 97px;\"><i><span style=\"color: #993366;\">These Estimator Tools uses MS Excel macros to carry out calculations.
