Dr. Anthony Fauci will receive a tax-paid annual federal retirement pension benefit of $414,667—more than the president’s $400,000 annual salary—if he leaves civil service in January 2025, as he has said he plans to do, according to the nonprofit government watchdog Open the Books (OTB).
While the specific details of an individual federal employee’s retirement benefit are exempt from public disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), the formula used to determine the amount is public, as are key details, including annual salary and years of service.
