Question about pensions... Jeff Zeitlin 31 Dec 2022 21:41 UTC

Canonically, I don't believe that there's anything that specifies the
relationship between the annual pension that some careers receive, and the
(theoretical) salary that one would earn during that career. I know that in
the real world, it ranges from about a third of the final salary to half of
the final salary - but that also depends on the career and how the pension
is defined (a real pension? Defined-benefit? Defined-contribution? 401K?
Individual Retirement Account [IRA] or similar self-directed account?).

I can think of situations where knowing what salary a job commands can be
useful in a campaign. Are there any reasonably-well-established
rules-of-thumb for "working backwards" and deriving a reasonable salary
from the pension payment?
