Does the amount of interest credited to your individual annuity savings fund affect what your overall benefit will be?

No. The amount of money in your annuity savings fund at the time of retirement has no bearing on what your benefit will be. The retirement benefit is determined by a calculation of your highest consecutive 36 months of regular compensation if membership began prior to 4/2/2012, or your highest consecutive 60 months of regular compensation if your membership began after 4/2/2012, your years of creditable service and your age at retirement.
