Government Pension Calculator Sri Lanka

Enter the pensionable monthly salary and percentage supplied by your employer or the Department of Pensions. The tool multiplies those figures; it does not choose a pension table or decide entitlement.

Estimate from your official pension percentage

Pension rates depend on the rules for your service, retirement date and salary. Ask your employer or the Department of Pensions for the pensionable salary and applicable reduced or unreduced percentage before using this estimate.

Use the reduced rate if your official calculation applies a reduction.

Estimated basic monthly pension

Enter both figures from your pension calculation to see an estimate.

This multiplies the salary and percentage you enter. It does not determine eligibility, choose a pension table, calculate gratuity, or account for pension revisions and allowances. Confirm the final amount with the Department of Pensions.

Use the figures in your pension calculation

Find the pensionable monthly salary and applicable percentage in the calculation supplied by your employer or the Department of Pensions.

Multiply the salary by the percentage divided by 100. For example, a pensionable salary of Rs. 100,000 at an officially confirmed 75% rate gives a basic monthly estimate of Rs. 75,000.

Why years of service alone are not enough

The Department of Pensions publishes percentage tables and worked examples that vary with salary and service, and distinguishes reduced and unreduced percentages. Salary conversions can also change the pensionable salary used for the monthly payment.

Check which circular and table apply to your retirement. The calculator leaves the rate to you because it cannot select the right official percentage from a service length alone.

What the estimate leaves out

This is a basic monthly worksheet amount. It does not decide whether service qualifies, calculate commuted gratuity, or add revisions and allowances.

Get the final entitlement and payable amount from the Department of Pensions before making a retirement decision.
