Formula and Logic
The tool calculates total income by adding gross income and pension amount. If total income exceeds the clawback threshold, the excess amount is multiplied by the clawback rate to determine the clawback amount. The clawback amount is capped at the pension amount. Net pension is calculated as pension amount minus clawback amount. The effective clawback rate on the pension is also shown.
