The Retirement Benefits calculator only provides an estimate of your future retirement benefits. The estimate is non-binding between you and CalSTRS. All benefits are determined by Teachers’ Retirement Law.

Here’s how the calculators work:

1. You provide the correct information.
2. Assumptions are made based on your information.
3. The law takes precedence in any conflict between information you provide and the law. 

Contact CalSTRS to:

• Obtain actual purchase costs.
• Establish a receivable account.
• Obtain official billing information.

Do not send payments based on calculations you make using any CalSTRS online calculator.
