ESPS is composed of "Groups" - each employer has its own section.

Your ESPS group booklet might give you the factor but might not. If not, you'll need a calculation from the administrator.

The reduction is currently 4% for each year and part year in proportion by which your retirement precedes your 60th birthday.
The percentages by which pensions are reduced on early retirement depend on your age at retirement (calculated in years and days) and are subject to review from time to time.
If you have a Normal Pension Age of more than age 60 you may take early voluntary retirement from age 60. Your Pension and Lump Sum will be discounted because they are being paid early. The current discount factors, as determined by the Scheme’s Actuary and approved by the Trustee, are as follows:
Level of Reduced Benefits
Age at retirement Level 60 years 87%
61 years 91%
62 years 95%

numpty_dumpty said:Does anyone know the actuarial reduction rates for taking an ESPS pension early? Obviously I should ask the administrator but thought I might get a quicker answer here.
As you thought, the right approach is to contact the scheme administrators.Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!1 -
