You serve the country. Make sure your pension serves you.

Plain-language calculators for public servants: what your GEPF pension is likely to be, what a two-pot withdrawal really costs, and whether your PAYE is right.

The country’s biggest pension fund. Very few plain answers.

GEPF is a defined-benefit fund, which is good news — but it makes “what will I actually get?” harder to work out on your own.

1,267,539

active GEPF members — plus 565,221 pensioners and beneficiaries.

Three questions we hear from public servants

Each one has a calculator behind it. Your numbers, your answer, in Rand.

“Should I resign to get my pension out?”

Usually the most expensive decision in a public-service career. See the taxed lump sum next to the monthly pension you would give up.

Compare stay vs resign →

“What does a two-pot withdrawal cost me?”

Tax at your marginal rate today, and the growth that money would have earned by 60. Both, in one number.

Cost my withdrawal →

“Is my GEPF pension enough on its own?”

Years of service and final salary drive it. We show the gap to 75% of your salary — and what an RA would close.
