您太认真了。
楼主不是不知道政府退休金是如何计算的。楼主是想说,政府雇员最后能得到的退休金,自己安排一下,也可以实现甚至更好。

Why is the indexing of benefits an important benefit of your pension plan?
Indexing is an important benefit because it protects your buying power over time. The table below compares a monthly pension of $1,000 under different inflation rates, over periods of 10, 15 and 20 years, and in three different ways:
- without benefit adjustments
- with an adjustment based on a partial change in CPI (75%)
- with an adjustment based on the full change in CPI (100%)
Years from now

For example, assume you have built a retirement budget based on a monthly pension of $2,000. You have a planned amount for fixed expenses (housing, heating, food, etc) of $1,500 and an amount of $500 for other costs (social activities, travel, renovations, etc.). In 10 years, if the average annual rate of inflation is 3%, your indexed pension will allow you to cover your fixed expenses, which will now be around $2016 instead of $1,500 (depending on the cost of goods and services purchased) and to maintain the same proportion of other costs, that is, around $672 instead of $500. However, if your pension was not indexed, your basic pension of $2,000 would no longer be enough to pay your fixed expenses. Even with a low rate of inflation, it can eat into your buying power appreciably.
