Benefit Estimate Calculators for SCRS and PORS

At retirement, a member's monthly benefit is calculated based on very specific and individual parameters such as compensation records, credited service time, days of unused annual and sick leave, and the benefit multiplier for the retirement system (SCRS or PORS) in which the member is enrolled.

Currently, there are three methods you can use for estimating your monthly benefit. These methods are distinguished by how much information is required. The more information you provide, the more likely the estimated amount will be closer to your final monthly benefit.

Quickest Method  

Requires little information and is recommended for those who simply want a quick estimate of their monthly benefit amount.

Quick Method  

Requires a little more information and is recommended for those who want a little more than a mere estimate of their monthly benefit amount.

Full Method  

Requires the most information and is recommended for those who want an estimated amount that is likely to be closer to their actual monthly benefit.
