How to include pensions in our FI number

I’m sure this has been discussed before but I can’t find any answers pertaining to how those of us with regular pension income include this when using the FI number calculator.

I was considering cutting the monthly expenses by the amount of the pension OR should I calculate the value of the pension (admittedly hard to do) and include that as part of what we have already invested?

Are any of you including social security in your calculations? We are both 50 and I’d like to think we can include it at this point.
