Question
Haley has an annual salary of $1,000,000 in 2019, 2020, and 2021. She is thinking about retiring at the beginning of 2022 after working for XYZ Corp. and participating in XYZ Corp.’s defined benefit plan. If XYZ Corp.’s defined benefit plan pays employees 3 percent for every year of service for the average of their three highest years of compensation, what is the minimum number of years of service that would maximize Haley’s benefit if she were to retire at the beginning of 2022? Assuming she worked the minimum number of years to receive the maximum benefit, what would her annual defined benefit plan payment be in retirement?
