A specially designed calculator has been provided in the web site of the Civil Service Bureau (CSB) to enable potential applicants of the soon-to-be-launched second Voluntary Retirement Scheme to have a rough idea on the pension benefits and compensation package they could receive if they retire voluntarily.

A CSB spokesman said today (February 14) that the calculator could be found through the <What's New> section of the CSB website at http://www.csb.gov.hk.
