What TRS Tier Am I?
Your tier depends on when your current membership began, your service credit on August 31, 2014, and whether you met a grandfathering test. Use the guided finder on the main calculator so you do not have to decode the six-tier chart.
Tier placement affects retirement eligibility and whether your final average salary uses three or five years. A prior refund can reset the date your current membership began.
Use this in your retirement estimate
Start with the figures on your latest TRS annual statement. The independent calculator can help you explore scenarios, but your official TRS retirement estimate is the final authority.
Important verification
Your tier is printed on your annual statement and any official retirement estimate. If the tier, credit, salary, or eligibility shown there differs from this site, use the TRS information and speak with a benefits counselor.
