(i) the aggregate obtained by taking for each previous pension the amount of the pensionable remuneration by reference to which it was calculated and the amount by which that amount would have been increased if it had been the rate of an official pension, within the meaning of that Act, beginning on and payable from the day after the last day of the relevant previous employment, and

(ii) the amount of the pensionable remuneration by reference to which the additional pension was calculated, and
