Benefit Estimator Instructions
- Enter the gross amount of your biweekly salary. (This step will calculate your final average monthly compensation. It is important to remember that your final average monthly compensation for retirement purposes will include many special pay items, such as longevity pay, uniform allowance, availability pay, etc. Therefore, this unofficial estimate may not accurately reflect the actual amount of your monthly retirement benefit.)
- Enter your expected years of service at retirement. Please remember that any personal leaves of absence or any medical leaves of absence that have not been purchased will reduce your total years of retirement service credit.
- Click your employee type:

Disclaimer
The Benefit Estimator is a tool to provide members with unofficial estimates of their monthly retirement benefit. You will need to enter your own personal information in order to use the Benefit Estimator.
Calculations performed by the Benefit Estimator are not official KCERA estimates, and KCERA cannot and will not be bound by the results of your use of the Estimator. In the event of a difference between the Benefit Estimator projection and the official KCERA benefit calculation in your case, KCERA's calculations will prevail. The benefit that you will receive at retirement is determined pursuant to the County Employees' Retirement Law of 1937, not all of which is currently captured in the online Benefit Estimator.
If you would like to receive an official estimate, please complete an Estimate Request Form and return it to the KCERA office.
