President Clinton could collect a total of $7.29 million as his pension from the federal government, which would be largest federal pension ever, according to estimates by the National Taxpayers Union, a tax-policy group. The estimates of lifetime payout for Mr. Clinton, who is 54 years old, are based on federal service, age at retirement, and life expectancy tables, which estimate he could live to be 82. Mr. Clinton will begin drawing a presidential pension starting at $161,200 a year when he leaves office Jan. 20; he also will be entitled to receive a pension from the state of Arkansas of slightly more than $18,000 a year when he turns 55 in August.
