Contribution Rates Remain Unchanged for 2025-2026
In the upcoming school year, the contribution rate for PSRS will continue to be 29%, and the contribution rate for PEERS will continue to be 13.72%. The PSRS/PEERS Board of Trustees voted to maintain these rates at its October 30, 2024, meeting. The charts below shows the breakdown for member and employer rates.
| Member Rate | Employer Rate | Combined Rate |
| 14.5% | 14.5% | 29% |
| Member Rate | Employer Rate | Combined Rate |
| 6.86% | 6.86% | 13.72% |
The PSRS and PEERS contribution rates have remained unchanged for 15 years. This steadiness shows financial stability and is a result of strong governance and long-term planning.
The 2025-2026 school year begins July 1, 2025, and ends June 30, 2026.
About Contribution Rates
PSRS/PEERS credits each member’s contributions to that member’s individual membership. Members do not pay taxes on their contributions until they receive them back as benefits. Contributions are always returned to members or their beneficiaries either in the form of monthly benefits or as a lump-sum payment. In most cases, the retirement benefits paid to PSRS/PEERS members exceed the funds they contribute while working. In fact, most PSRS/PEERS retirees recover all their contributions within the first five years of retirement.
