The contribution calculator is a tool that enables you to estimate your biweekly contribution amount, which is the amount that is deducted from each paycheck. Your contribution rate is determined by a percentage amount, dependent on the age you were when you entered SDCERA membership.

Click the links to the General member contribution rate chart and Safety member contribution rate chart to see the current contribution rates; click the Employer-paid offset chart to see the portion of your required contribution that is paid for by your employer, based on your bargaining unit and years of service.
