Pension present value:
What your pension is worth today

A pension's present value is what its future payments are worth in today's money, which lets you count it in your net worth.

Add a pension or annuity in Net worth and PortfolioPilot shows a net present value for it, discounted at inflation plus a 2% real yield. Its payments also count as income in your retirement plan. Included in the Free plan.
