Contribution Rates Will Stay the Same for 2026-2027

PSRS and PEERS contribution rates will remain unchanged for the 2026-2027 school year (July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027). The PSRS/PEERS Board of Trustees made this decision at the November board meeting.

The Board based this decision on a recommendation from PwC US, the System’s actuary. The steady rate reflects our ongoing commitment to stability.

“Maintaining stable contribution rates allows families and school districts to plan their budgets with confidence and avoid unexpected changes,” said PSRS/PEERS Executive Director Dearld Snider. “Thanks to the expertise and disciplined approach of our Board of Trustees, combined with our investment team, we have continued to uphold this stability — ensuring we can meet the long-term promises we’ve made to our members.”

Understanding Your Contributions

Your contributions are credited to your individual membership and are not taxed until paid out as benefits. You’ll receive these contributions as monthly retirement benefits or as a lump-sum payment, either to you or your beneficiaries. Note: Your contributions help fund your retirement benefit. However, they do not determine the amount of your benefit.

Employer contributions, on the other hand, go into a general reserve that helps fund future retirement benefits for all members.
