If a person figures to retire at age 60, then they figure they will die at age 90, what would be the monthly pay-out on that RRSP? Assuming normal risks.

I think right now for a teacher it's 2/3's of their current salary for the pension. So for a teacher at the top of a grid, the take home would be around $2500 I think.

Anyone know how to run those numbers?

I wonder if teachers would be better off buying their own RRSP's each month rather than paying into a pension. I mean if they die at 65, it's all gone, no inheritance to anyone.

If you have better numbers, I'd be curious to see what they were.
Depending on how you select a payout that can be the case but you can also select a spouse or relative to receive a reduced payout in the event of death for a number of years.
