United Benefits - TSP Projections

TSP Projections Calculator

What will my Thrift Savings Plan look like?

This calculator will allow you to view Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) projections based on adjusting funds and contribution amounts.

The TSP is a retirement savings and investment plan for federal employees and members of the uniformed services. It was established by Congress in the Federal Employees’ Retirement System Act of 1986 and offers the same types of savings and tax benefits that many private corporations offer their employees under 401(k) plans.

The TSP is a defined contribution plan, meaning that the retirement income you receive from your TSP account will depend on how much you (and your agency or service, if you’re eligible to receive agency or service contributions) put into your account during your working years and the earnings accumulated over that time.

If thinking about retirement feels overwhelming, you’re not alone. It can be difficult to navigate your retirement benefit package. United Benefits trained retirement specialists can help you understand your retirement options. We offer one-on-one retirement assistance and classes to members.
