Contribution Rates
The employer and employee retirement contribution rates for OPERS (State Agencies, County and Local Employers, Elected officials and Hazardous Duty Employers) and URSJJ plans for FY 2026 are unchanged from the previous fiscal year. Detailed information is available below. If you have any questions about the contribution rates, please contact OPERS.
State Agencies
| Member Contribution | Employer Contribution |
| 3.5% | 16.5% |
County and Local Government Employers
As a local government OPERS employer, you have chosen one “mix” of employee and employer contributions in a resolution you previously filed with OPERS. Each contribution “mix” is represented by a letter code as shown in the table on the following page reflecting the “mix” for each code. No action is required if you do not wish to make any changes.
If your organization does want to make changes from one of the existing codes or mixes to another, it may do so by filing a new resolution with OPERS to be effective July 1, 2025. New resolutions should be addressed to Nancy Boysen at the address below. If no resolution from your organization is received by OPERS prior to June 30, 2025, your contribution rates will not change. The online reporting or prelist data provided to you for July 2025 will reflect these changes.
