Your CalSTRS retirement benefit is a healthy start to funding your future. But did you know that the median CalSTRS benefit replaces about 50 to 60 percent of a member’s salary?

The CalSTRS Pension2 Advisory Committee selects each of the core funds to ensure the highest quality investment choices. The funds are continuously monitored to ensure that they meet the performance standards of CalSTRS and any fund that does not will be placed on the investment watch list. If the fund continues to underperform, a new fund will be selected as a replacement.
Your CalSTRS retirement benefit will replace, on average, about 54 percent of your current salary. Need more for retirement? Check out our “Why Wait” and “What If” calculators and see what a difference a few years can make.
The CalSTRS Pension2 watch list details which of our current investment options we are concerned with and watching closely. Options placed on the list may, based on our monitoring criteria, later be removed from the watch list or removed/replaced from our available investment options.
