CCCERA Retired Member Benefit Enhancements

You can figure your own basic estimate for retirement by using our printable (PDF file) Tier brochures. Each one includes easy-to-follow instructions, formulas, and factor tables needed to "Do The Math." (Formulas and factors sound a bit intimidating, but you can do it with basic math skills, or a calculator.) This figure won't replace an actual estimate created by CCCERA counselors, but it will give you a rough idea for financial planning.
Give it a try!
If you have service in more than one tier, you will figure each tier's retirement service credit separately, due to differences in factor tables for each of the retirement tiers (Tiers 1,2,3, PEPRA Tiers 4 and 5, and Safety Tiers A, C, D, and E). Add the amounts together to estimate your monthly pension benefit.
