(1) An annuity which shall be the actuarial equivalent of the prosecutor's aggregate contributions and
(2) A pension in the amount which, when added to the prosecutor's annuity, will provide a total retirement allowance of one-sixtieth of average final compensation multiplied by the number of years of creditable service, or 2% of average final compensation multiplied by the number of years of creditable service up to 30 plus 1% of average final compensation multiplied by the number of years of creditable service over 30, or 50% of final compensation if the prosecutor has established 20 or more years of creditable service, whichever is greater.
