How the Nevada PERS formula works
For service earned on or after July 1, 2010, Nevada PERS uses a 2.25% multiplier on your average compensation, the average of your highest 36 consecutive months. Earlier service earns 2.5%. Nevada PERS members, including teachers, generally do not pay into Social Security.
This calculator uses a single percentage and a simplified formula, so treat the result as an estimate and confirm your figure with PERS. Most Nevada teachers do not pay into Social Security for their teaching service, which makes the WEP and GPO repeal especially relevant.

Questions
How is a Nevada PERS pension calculated?
The PERS benefit multiplies a 2.25% multiplier by your average compensation by your years of service. For example, 30 years at a $60,000 average compensation is 2.25% × $60,000 × 30 = $40,500 per year before any early-retirement reduction.
What multiplier does Nevada PERS use?
It is 2.25% per year of service. Adjust the percentage on the calculator if your tier or service level uses a different rate.
Do Nevada teachers get Social Security?
Most do not. Nevada teachers generally do not pay into Social Security for their teaching service, so they receive a PERS pension instead. The Social Security Fairness Act, signed in January 2025, repealed the WEP and GPO that previously reduced any other Social Security a teacher had earned.
