6% plus they match 100% up to 4% of your own contribution and 50% of the next 4% you contribute. So if you get it all, it amounts to 12%.

401K or Pension?

My 401K they match 3% for my 6% (New hires 1% + 3% of 6% No Pension)

Pension is non/contributory 1.45% per year of my salary to a Max of 66% Salary.
(highest 12 consecutive months out of last 60 months)

Pension, 100% company contributions, nothing from me.

If you have a pension your employer does contribute to your retirement. Do you know what the funding formula is?

beer belly I was doing some calculations and that pension you get most likely costs your employer about 15% of your pay each year for 30 years.

Mine pays nothing but interest earned in system until you retire; then they double what is in your account. They also pay COL. It changed in the 80's and has worked well for both.
