MMC Benefits Handbook
Obtaining an Estimate
You can obtain an estimate of your accrued benefit by accessing My Rewards or the US Retirement Program Calculator.
US Retirement Program Calculator
The US Retirement Program Calculator is an interactive on-line tool that lets you estimate your Accrued Benefit based on variable assumptions that you select. It allows you to input a termination date, your age when you expect to commence your monthly benefit payments, and the age of a designated survivor. The output from the calculation will display the estimated Accrued Benefit as well as the monthly payment amount for the most common forms of payment. The US Retirement Program Calculator is meant for planning purposes and only provides an estimate of the final monthly amount you may receive based on the variables you input. The US Retirement Program Calculator produces estimates which may not reflect the actual benefit you will receive if and when you are eligible to begin receiving benefits under the Marsh & McLennan Companies US Retirement Program. The actual amount of benefit you receive after your employment ends may differ from this estimate.
Active Employees: To access the US Retirement Program Calculator, go to Colleague Connect (https://mmcglobal.sharepoint.com/sites/Home) and click Pay & Benefits. Select My Pay & Benefits, under Savings & Financial Planning click Retirement Calculator.
Inactive Employees (Vested Terminated Participants or Retired Participant not in pay status): To access the US Retirement Program calculator, go to www.myplansconnect.com/mmc.
Special Situations Affecting Benefit Estimates
- If you have a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO), My Rewards, the US Retirement Program Calculator and the PPA Benefit Statement will not reflect any offsets to your Accrued Benefit which may apply.
- If you have been employed by a non-participating company, prior to a period of participation in the Plan or if you have a benefit payable from another retirement plan sponsored by an affiliate and received credit under this Plan for the same period of service, My Rewards, the US Retirement Program Calculator will not reflect any offsets to your Accrued Benefit which may apply.
- If you have accrued a benefit under a plan that was subsequently merged with the Marsh & McLennan Companies Retirement Plan (or a predecessor plan), e.g., Johnson & Higgins and Sedgwick, and you are eligible for indexation of your frozen Accrued Benefit from that merged Plan, MyRewards, the US Program Calculator will not reflect the projected value of the indexation benefit.

In certain situations, you may request that the Plan Administrator provide you with an estimated retirement benefit calculation.
