Contribution Rates Unchanged for 2025-2026 School Year
On October 28, 2024, the PSRS/PEERS Board of Trustees voted to keep contribution rates unchanged for both active members and employers for the 2025-2026 school year, which runs from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026.
This decision, guided by a recommendation from PwC US, the Systems’ actuary, reflects our commitment to maintaining stability.
The PSRS/PEERS investment team works diligently to consistently deliver long-term returns that make it possible to maintain these rates for yet another year.
“Our Board recognizes the potential challenges that increasing contribution rates could pose for our active members and employers” stated PSRS/PEERS Executive Director Dearld Snider. “We commend our investment team for their commitment to delivering long-term returns that consistently surpass our assumed rate, allowing us to maintain stable contribution rates for another year.”
What You Need to Know About Your Contributions
Contributions are credited to your individual membership and are not subject to taxation until they are distributed as benefits. You will receive these contributions as monthly benefits or as a lump-sum payment, either to you or to your beneficiaries. The employer paid contributions go into a general reserve to help fund future retirement benefits.
