Paragraph 39

(1)

The annual office-holder pension payable to an individual is an amount equal to the total of the individual's office-holder pension entitlements.

(2)

An individual obtains an office-holder pension entitlement in respect of each period for which he or she holds a pensionable office.

(3)

The amount of an office-holder pension entitlement for such a period is calculated as follows—

office-holder'sfinalsalaryinrespectofperiod×(A50+B40)

where—

“A” is the individual's reckonable service as an office-holder accrued when holding the office concerned in respect of which the individual made lower rate scheme member contributions, and

“B” is the individual's reckonable service as an office-holder accrued when holding the office concerned during which the individual made higher rate scheme member contributions.

(4)

Where an individual's annual office-holder pension (including any enhancement made by virtue of other scheme rules) exceeds the individual's annual office-holder pension cap, the annual office-holder pension payable to the individual is to be reduced to the individual's annual office-holder pension cap. An individual's “annual office-holder pension cap” is—

(a)

two-thirds of the final salary amount used to calculate the individual's office-holder pension entitlement, or

(b)

where an individual has more than one such entitlement, two-thirds of the highest such final salary amount.
