Retirement eligibility

You’re generally “retiring” if you leave HP:

  • At age 55 or older, with at least 10 years of qualifying service* (other provisions may apply for certain programs); or
  • At any age, with combined age-plus-service “points” equal to 80 or more.

The definition of retirement varies by program. For example, retirement eligiblity for most equity awards is based on leaving HP at age 55 or older with age-plus-service “points” equal to 70 or more. Note that if you joined HP through an acquisition, other retirement eligibility requirements may apply.

* In most cases, your qualifying years of service are based on your “continuous service date” as reflected on the HP Workday System, which may be different than your hire date. However, if you joined HP through a merger, an acquisition, or an outsourcing arrangement that did not recognize your past service for retiree medical purposes, your qualifying service will typically be calculated using your HP hire date.

Please note: If you left HP as a participant in the 2023 US Enhanced Early Retirement Program, you’re considered to be a retiree for some benefit purposes even if you did not meet the standard eligibility criteria shown here. See the 2023 US Enhanced Early Retirement Program for more information.
