Woooo, FERS (assuming US). Scary part is if you started 20 years ago you were paying LESS into it. It's 4.4% now.

Nah, I've only worked at the city/state/county levels, never federal. I think they've all been in the neighborhood of 8-10% from both me and my employer, it's just that I've made shit money for most of my career because I wanted to help people and those jobs pay like crap. I also lost about 50k the last time the market went in the shitter and I've spent the last few years just making up for that.
