We rely on three funding sources to fund our members' pensions. For each NYSTRS pension dollar, 85 cents come from investment earnings, 13 cents from employer contributions and 2 cents from member contributions.
The result of this shared commitment is a well-funded plan. Learn more about our funding over the past 30 years.
The New York State Teachers' Retirement System (NYSTRS) is one of the 10 largest public pension funds in the nation and among the best-funded teacher systems.
