Starts working at 20 and retires 30 years later at 50? That's some damned early retirement.

I think it's just your top ten earning years. but in the example I just made it a 2:1 ratio.

thought I responded to this but my comp froze and I dont see it. Benefits are based on all years of earnings back to 1951, adjusted for inflation.
In the heritage example you arent taking into account post-retirement cost of living adjusments, which increase the payouts.
In your original quesiton (1990 retiree, 30 years earnings and 15 years of payout), my comp froze before I could save the spreadsheet but the ROR that exactly exhausted his theoretical "self savings" on his date of death was 7.76%. And that doesnt take into account the potential for a lower earning or non-working spouse increasing the value.
