Is this right? HRC website says I am authorized $900 for my Army Reserve pension?

Your points should tell you or give you an idea about how much you receive. Make sure you get all of your points accounted for. Another thing, if you retire before age 60, go retired reserve, if not retired pay will be based off of date retired. Good luck

1SG. The points calculation will give you a rough estimate. There are a number of other factors that can reduce that amount rather significantly. I urge you to get down in the weeds on this one.

Major Danny Clark, The 1st Sgt. Himself said he knows very little about the process of doing the paper work. He maybe a great drill Sgt. But, no one can be great at everything. To me the paper process is simple.But would probably suck as a drill Sgt

1SG Michael Blount I can assist.
The site you have listed is one of the correct sites for HRC Retired Reserve calculators.
This one only provides dollars in current day, you can go to one through your HRC account that will provide an estimate at age 60, when reservist are allowed to receive retirement.
In your Records file off the 2x citizen/HRC site you can get your total retirement point count.
If you can't determine it from my comments, ping me via message and I will assist.

Your pension will be based on the number of points so the more active duty you have done, the more it will be vs. someone of the same grade but with less points. Make sure every point is accounted for by HRC. Also, if you have done any mobilizations since January 2008, your retirement will start 90 days earlier for every 90 days you have done. I just got my reserve retirement ID card last week and the DEERS lady told me to contact HRC a year out from my retirement so HRC can cut the final orders. Without those, you will not get Tricare.

very likely it is correct.
You have to remember that even in the reserves/NG retirement is based on points
60 points a year
6 years = 360 points/ 1 year AD
that is a normal year
I had a CMSGT retire with 20 years and only get about $800
So print out your points and break out the 214's and make sure you have all your points

1SG Blount: I am sure you used the site properly, but just in case, run your numbers again and make sure every entry saves. I ran my numbers and the calculation matches other of my recent estimates. LTC Heater

1SG Michael Blount, that cannot be right. I don't want to ask you for all the information you put in, but my rough estimate comes out to much more than that (in 2040 dollars).

No one can answer your question without the information.
I don't know anything about the website, but, assume it is legitimate.
You can check by calculating yourself.
Divide the total points you have by 360
Multiply by 2.5%
That is the percent you should receive.

OH? Has it changed? A year is considered 360 points (or it was) And the retirement rate is 2.5% per year (or at least it was)

After seeing your posts I guess they made it more difficult. Don't think it was for the better.

Capt (Join to see) - Sir, I did that, but my question is more along the line of there are two options, the High 3 and another one (I forget the name right offhand). I was inquiring about which is the better of the two choices.
