Typically, retirement pay doesn't come out of current taxes at all. The employer sets a certain amount of money aside every year as a retirement account. Typically, this money is invested in stock and bond accounts and will grow at the rate of between 5% and 15% a year. Some government and education system pensions are keyed to the market even after retirement - my mother's pension payments go up and down with the stock market, and she has not tired of complaining about it for the last three years. In any case, salaries and benefits for those still working are paid for out of tax revenue. This includes payments into the retirement account from which their pensions will eventually come. Pension payments for retired people are not - they are paid out of withdrawals from the pension funds. In part, they are pre-paid by taxes that were paid during their period of employment, but the majority comes from interest on the account.
