You have to use the retirement points calculation to accurately account for your pension benefit in retirement. Here is the link to the formula from DFAS: <br /><br /><a target="_blank" href="https://www.dfas.mil/retiredmilitary/plan/estimate/">https://www.dfas.mil/retiredmilitary/plan/estimate/</a><br /><br />If you&#39;re serving in the National Guard for six years you will typically only accrue a small percentage of the total available points in a year (360 points per year for AD). Those points will factor into your total time and need to be calculated with your 7,200 AD points from your 20 years on AD.<br /><br />Hope this helps. <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default"> <div class="pta-link-card-picture"> <img src="https://d26horl2n8pviu.cloudfront.net/link_data_pictures/images/000/633/758/qrc/dfas_logo_small.png?1620935209"> </div> <div class="pta-link-card-content"> <p class="pta-link-card-title"> <a target="blank" href="https://www.dfas.mil/retiredmilitary/plan/estimate/"> Defense Finance and Accounting Service RetiredMilitary plan estimate</a> </p> <p class="pta-link-card-description">The official website of the Defense Finance Accounting Service (DFAS)</p> </div> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> MAJ Private RallyPoint Member Thu, 13 May 2021 15:49:13 -0400 2021-05-13T15:49:13-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/if-i-serve-6-years-in-the-national-guard-and-20-years-active-duty-will-my-pension-be-50-of-my-base-pay-with-26-years-of-service?n=6973083&urlhash=6973083 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Your pay will be 50% of your final 36 months monthly average. The formula is (total the last 36 months of base pay / 36) x (2.5% x whole years AD) SFC Private RallyPoint Member Thu, 13 May 2021 16:38:36 -0400 2021-05-13T16:38:36-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/if-i-serve-6-years-in-the-national-guard-and-20-years-active-duty-will-my-pension-be-50-of-my-base-pay-with-26-years-of-service?n=6973188&urlhash=6973188 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes LTC Private RallyPoint Member Thu, 13 May 2021 17:41:56 -0400 2021-05-13T17:41:56-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/if-i-serve-6-years-in-the-national-guard-and-20-years-active-duty-will-my-pension-be-50-of-my-base-pay-with-26-years-of-service?n=6974336&urlhash=6974336 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If you are asking about Time in Service, the answer is Yes. You will also get credit for pay for your Guard Retirement Points, including IDT points. Divide your Retirement points off your last NGB23 by 365 and you that will give you the addition time for retirement pay.
