Worked example
Take a worker with 30 insured years and an average insurable wage of Rs 37,000 a month. The common
EOBI accrual multiplies the average wage by the insured years and divides by 50, so that is Rs 37,000
times 30, divided by 50, which gives about Rs 22,200 a month. Since Rs 22,200 is comfortably above
the Rs 10,000 statutory minimum pension, the formula amount is what applies and the monthly pension is
about Rs 22,200. Over a year that is roughly Rs 266,400. If the same worker had only a handful of
insured years, the formula could fall below Rs 10,000, in which case the tool would lift the pension up
to the Rs 10,000 floor automatically, because the minimum pension cannot be undercut.

How it is calculated
The EOBI old-age pension rewards both a longer contribution history and a higher average insurable
wage. The tool uses a common accrual, the average monthly wage multiplied by the number of insured
years and divided by 50, to produce the formula amount. It then compares that figure against the
statutory minimum monthly pension and pays whichever is higher, so a short contribution record still
receives the floor amount rather than a token sum. The annual pension is just the monthly figure
times twelve. This is an estimate, because EOBI applies a prescribed insurable wage rather than your
full salary, and the exact accrual and minimum are set by regulation and revised from time to time.
Confirm your insured years and the current minimum with EOBI before relying on the number.
Frequently asked questions
How is the EOBI pension calculated in Pakistan?
The EOBI old-age pension is based on your average insurable wage and your number of insured years. A common accrual is average wage times insured years divided by 50. Whatever the formula produces, the pension cannot fall below the statutory minimum monthly pension. This tool applies that floor automatically.
What is the current EOBI minimum pension in Pakistan?
The statutory minimum EOBI monthly pension has been raised multiple times and stood at PKR 10,000 per month as of recent revisions, though the federal government can increase it through budget notifications. This tool applies that floor so any formula result below the minimum is automatically lifted to it. Confirm the current minimum with EOBI before making retirement plans based on these figures.
What counts as the insurable wage for EOBI purposes?
EOBI contributions are paid on a prescribed insurable wage rather than on your full salary. The insurable wage is capped at a maximum set by EOBI, so if you earn above that cap your contributions and accrual are still based on the ceiling figure. Entering your actual monthly pay in this tool will give a reasonable estimate, but your precise pension depends on the insurable wage recorded in your EOBI account rather than your gross salary.
How many years of contributions are needed to qualify for the EOBI old-age pension?
EOBI generally requires a minimum of fifteen insured years to qualify for the old-age pension. Workers with fewer years may qualify for a reduced benefit or a refund of contributions depending on the circumstances. The formula in this tool will still produce a number for shorter contribution periods, but confirm eligibility directly with EOBI if your insured years are below the fifteen-year threshold.
