For a pension plan to qualify for tax-exempt status, the plan sponsor must arrange sufficient funding for the plan's future liabilities, including future pension benefits. Determining sufficient funding requires calculating the present value of future benefits which is, in part, based on discounting those benefits with interest. This page provides the interest rates a plan actuary must use to apply this discounting for a single employer defined benefit pension plan. On this page Key segment rate components Segment rates overview Amendments to Code provisions for segment rates Pre-ARP rules Plans not subject to standard segment rate rules Pre-2014 segment rates Key segment rate components The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP) made recent changes to the methods of determining the required interest rates. Find pre-ARP and post-ARP tables below: Determination components and tables Determination components Tables determined under ARP & IIJA rules Tables determined under pre-ARP rules Applicable percentage limits Table 1A Table 1B 25-year average segment rates and permissible corridors Table 2A Table 2B 24-month average segment rates Table 3A Table 3B Segment rates overview Generally, for single-employer plans, for funding purposes, the rates for discounting are three 24-month average segment rates (Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 430(h)(2)). However, special rules apply for certain plans (see Plans Not Subject to Standard Segment Rate Provisions). The three segment rates are the averages of the yields over different blocks of maturity periods of the Treasury high quality corporate bond yield curves averaged over 24-months.These rates are subject to additional criteria: they are constrained by applicable percentage limits on the 25-year average yield curve segment rates. These rules have been affected by several amendments to IRC Section 430(h)(2) (see Amendments to Code Segment Rate Provisions). The recent changes under ARP affected the determination of the 25-year average segment rates and the applicable percentages, but also allowed plan sponsors to elect to use the pre-ARP rules for certain years. Tables 1A, 2A, and 3A below have the constraints and segment rates determined taking into account ARP Section 9706(a) and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) amendments generally for plan years beginning after 2019. Tables 1B, 2B, and 3B have the constraints and segment rates determined under pre-ARP rules, for plan years beginning before 2020, or for plan years beginning in 2020 and 2021 if the plan sponsor makes the election available in ARP Section 9706(c)(2) to use the pre-ARP rules.

Code provisions specifying the required segment rates have been amended several times, by: Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) - added IRC 430(h)(2)(C)(iv) and requires that the 24-month average segment rates be adjusted by the applicable maximum and applicable minimum percentages of 25-year average segment rates. Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 2014 (HATFA) Section 2003(a) - amended the applicable percentages under IRC 430(h)(2)(C)(iv) Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (BBA) Section 504 - amended the applicable percentages again, generally effective for plan years beginning after December 31, 2015. American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP) Section 9706(a) - amended the applicable percentages as well as the determination of the 25-year average segment rates, generally effective for plan years beginning after 2019. However, for plan years beginning before 2022, plan sponsors may elect under ARP Section 9706(c)(2) to not apply the changes under Section 9706(a). Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). Section 80602(a) - amended the applicable percentages. Pre-ARP rules Under ARP Section 9706(c)(2) the plan sponsor may elect not to apply the segment rates as revised by ARP Section 9706(a) for a plan year beginning in 2020 or 2021 either for all purposes, or for only certain purposes. Return to top Plans not subject to standard segment rate rules These plans are not subject to the ARP provisions noted above: Plans noted in the Pension Protection Act of 2006 Section 402 CSEC plans under IRC 414(y) Plans that elect to use the full yield curve under IRC Section 430(h)(2)(D)(ii) in place of the segment rates.
