Welcome to the GAD Factor Guidance Hub, which contains information relevant to the benefit calculations of Public Service Pension Schemes (PSPS).
This website is hosted by the Government Actuary's Department (GAD).
Calculations may be required for individual pension scheme members for a variety of reasons. GAD provides the calculation factors and guidance on this website to scheme sponsors,
managers and administrators in order to facilitate carrying out the calculations in an efficient and consistent manner.
To access factors and guidance, please select the PSPS that you require using the links below. This will take you to an area specific to the selected scheme. You can navigate to
the factors and guidance for that scheme using the buttons there.
If you need to know more about the factors and/or the guidance, each scheme has instructions for who to contact which you will see once you select the scheme you require below.
