CalSTRS shares your retirement goal—a secure financial future. It is important to gather enough information and resources from CalSTRS to assist you throughout your career as you transition into retirement.
The first step to take in planning for retirement is to learn
more about your CalSTRS benefits by gathering information that
will help you create a solid plan for a successful retirement.
CalSTRS offers many ways to learn about your benefits and tools,
resources and services to assist you throughout the planning
process.
CalSTRS on Campus works directly with employers to conduct
on-campus retirement benefit counseling and workshops with
CalSTRS members. The time and location of the services vary by
employer.
Use the Retirement Benefits calculator as a retirement planning
tool. This is only an estimate of your retirement benefits. All
benefits are determined by the Teachers’ Retirement Law.
Because you do not pay into Social Security for your
CalSTRS-covered employment, you are subject to two federal
provisions that may reduce or eliminate your Social Security
benefit.
