However, from 1 April 2014 that formula is different because the Scheme changed from a final salary scheme to a career average scheme: For each year in the new scheme from April 2014, you will build up a pension based on your pensionable pay in that year....For each scheme year that you are a member, a pension equal to a 49th of your pensionable pay will be added to your pension account....Further information Example of how a pension is worked out from 1 April 2014  LGPS member website including a pension modeller If you have been in the scheme since before 1 April 2014 your benefits up to 31 March 2014 will still be calculated based on your final pensionable pay.
