Gurkha Pension and Redundancy Calculators

Pension Calculator

The Gurkha Pension Calculator below gives a forecast of benefits for members of AFPS 75 or AFPS 05 who transferred as part of the serving Gurkha Offer To Transfer (GOTT).  All officers, and those soldiers who joined as part of the 1993 intake and earlier, were given a service credit.  This calculator will adjust the pensionable service to take into account any service credit received.

Redundancy Calculator

This is to be used in conjunction with DSPS(A)'s letter reference DSPS(A) 4.5.23 dated 15 April 2011. 

Gurkha soldiers and Late Entry officers selected for redundancy are entitled to receive a lump sum in compensation for shortening their career as well as other terminal and retirement benefits.

However, the entitlement of Gurkha Late Entry officers, who joined the Army before 1 Jul 97, and Gurkhas soldiers, who joined the Army before 1 Oct 93, to redundancy compensation is affected by the terms and conditions of the Gurkha Offer to Transfer (GOTT), which means that the Armed Forces Redundancy Calculator (AFRC) will not produce an accurate forecast. In these cases, Gurkhas must use the Gurkha Pension Calculator (GPC) to produce a forecast of the parts of their redundancy package which the AFRC cannot calculate correctly and then, in some cases, apply a manual workaround.
