Connecticut Teachers' Retirement Board

Annual Statements have been sent for all active teachers as of January 14th. Annual Statements do not reflect service purchases completed AFTER June 2025. If you need to request a duplicate copy of your Annual Statement prior to February 2nd please contact your employing district. Inactive and State employed TRB members will receive their statements in February. The Annual Statement Center can be used to alert TRB of possible errors on your statement. Duplicate statements for the 2024-25 year will be added to the Annual Statement Center on February 2nd 2026.

Normal Retirement

In order to be eligible for a normal retirement benefit you must meet either of the following requirements:

  • 20 years of Connecticut service and be at least age 60

  • 35 years of service (minimum 25 years CT) at any age

Normal retirement benefits are calculated as follows:  

2% X Credited Service X FTE X Average Salary = Annual Benefit.

The maximum benefit a member may receive from this system is 75% of average annual salary.

Normal retirement examples:

Member D retires at age 63 with 22.5 years of full-time CT service:

2% X 22.5 = 45% of average salary.

Member Q retires at age 59 with 35 years of service at 85% FTE:

2% X 35.0 X .85 = 59.5% of average salary.
