Analyze Dues Difference with NPERS Retirement Plan Change
Legislative Bill 645 (LB645), effective July 1, 2025, lowers the employee contribution rate for the Nebraska Public Employees Retirement System (NPERS) School Retirement Plan from 9.78% to 8.00% for school employees, including teachers, due to the plan’s 99.91% funding level. The Dues Savings Calculator enables teachers to input their gross salary (before taxes) to compare prior and new reduced retirement obligations, showing annual and monthly savings. For instance, a full-time certified teacher with a $50,000 gross salary saves $890 annually ($74.17 monthly). These savings, derived from gross income before tax deductions, highlight the financial relief for employees.
