What to Know About Oregon Retirement

  • Oregon PERS uses both a pension formula AND a money match calculation — retirees receive whichever is higher.
  • Oregon PERS is significantly underfunded — the state and local governments face very high contribution rates as a result.
  • The standard pension formula is: Years of Service × Final Average Salary × 1.5%. For a 30-year employee earning $65,000/year, this means $29,250/year in annual pension benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Oregon pension calculated?
The Oregon Public Employees Retirement System uses this formula: Years of Service × Final Average Salary × 1.5%. Your “final average salary” is based on your highest 3-year average. For example, with 25 years of service and a $60,000 final average salary: 25 × $60,000 × 0.015 = $22,500 per year.
When can I retire with a full pension in Oregon?
Full retirement eligibility in Oregon: Age 65 with 5 years, or Age 58 with 30 years, or Rule of 90. You may be able to retire earlier with a reduced benefit — contact Oregon Public Employees Retirement System directly for your specific eligibility date based on your hire date and tier.
Does Oregon pension replace Social Security?
Oregon pension members also participate in Social Security. You will receive both your state pension AND Social Security benefits in retirement — two separate income streams.
