RS 00605.905 1978 NS AIME PIA Chart

This chart can be used to compute a raw PIA based on the AIME. It reduces the number of calculations to one. This chart is updated annually to reflect new bend points. The term raw PIA means it is the PIA in the first year of eligibility prior to any applicable COLAs.

To use this chart, first find the section for the applicable eligibility year. Then find the row within that section which corresponds to the amount of the AIME and perform the calculation to the right. Remember to add any applicable COLAs to the raw PIA obtained from this chart.
