How your pension works

HOOPP is a defined benefit (DB) pension. This means the pension you receive in retirement is calculated using a formula based on your earnings and years of service in the Plan – and won’t be affected by the day-to-day ups and downs of the market.

You make contributions on the earnings you receive from your employer. For every dollar you contribute, your employer contributes $1.26 on your behalf. All contributions are invested in the HOOPP Fund and when you retire, you receive a monthly pension for the rest of your life. Learn more about how your pension works.
