This calculator provides general planning estimates based on the information you enter and publicly available federal leave guidance. Actual leave balances, retirement service credit and lump-sum payments are determined by your employing agency, payroll provider and OPM, as applicable. Rules may differ for part-time employees, uncommon tours of duty, special leave ceilings and individual circumstances. FedRetire is not affiliated with OPM or any federal agency.
