PensionForge: FRS Retirement Live

Model your Florida Retirement System benefits the way they actually work — pension, DROP, deferred compensation, and Social Security in one connected picture. Your pension, your DROP account, and your 457(b) savings all affect each other, but most estimates show one piece at a time. PensionForge models them together, on the real FRS formulas: class multiplier, average final compensation (AFC), vesting, enrollment era, COLA, and DROP interest. WHAT YOU CAN MODEL • Your FRS pension — monthly benefit estimated from your class multiplier, AFC, service years, and enrollment era (pre- or post-July 2011). • DROP — project your lump sum with monthly compounding, the statutory interest rate, and COLA across your program window. • Any separation date — with DROP, without DROP, or working past normal retirement. • Deferred compensation — 457(b), 403(b), and Roth balances growing alongside your pension, with traditional/Roth splits and per-account rates. • Social Security — estimated as its own line, adjusted for your claiming age. • Pension Plan vs Investment Plan — line up the projected monthly benefit against the projected account balance. • Purchased service credit — record buy-back time and see how it moves your dates. • Survivor benefits and payment options 1 through 4. • Side-by-side scenarios — different ages and paths, compared in one view. • Threshold alerts — get notified when a projection crosses a value you set. • PDF reports — single scenario, comparison, and portfolio. 13 TOOLS Pension benefit • AFC calculator • DROP modeling • DROP Exit Strategy • 457(b) growth • Contribution strategy compare • Full retirement projection • Re-employment restriction • Social Security estimator • Service Credit Purchase • Survivor Benefits • Retirement state relocation • Plan Election Explorer LEARN THE RULES Over a dozen plain-language articles covering DROP, AFC, COLA, the Health Insurance Subsidy, plan options, service purchase, leaving FRS, and Investment Plan funds — plus a full FRS glossary.
