Military Buyback Calculator
How will military buyback affect my federal retirement?
Military buyback can make a big difference in your federal retirement. This easy to use calculator will help you determine your deposit.
If you have active honorable military service that isn’t already being ‘used’ towards a military retirement – there is a very good chance that you can ‘buy’ that time back and have it count towards your federal retirement.
If you do a military buyback – it will increase the number of years in service that are used for your annuity/pension calculation. The more years you have – the larger your federal pension.
