Here in California, it is based on two factors....your age and the number
of years you have been in the system. The formula is somewhat complicated
(the progression is not linear, as yours seems to be), and there are some
provisions that have been added to encourage people to stay in teaching by
giving additional dollars added to your final amount, based on the number
of years you've taught, i.e. over 20 years, over 30 years. You can also
qualify to use only your highest year instead of the average of your =
three
highest years. I have just retired. If I had stayed an additional 5 =
years
(I am currently 55 and was in the system for 35 years) I would have gotten
99.5% of my highest year. Going at 55, with 35 years, plus the additional
dollars for longevity, I am getting just over 90%.
As I understand it, you CAN teach beyond 60, and it IS possibly with the
longevity bonus to actually receive a bit more than 100% of your salary, =
if
you started very early, as I did, and work beyond 62, as I did not!
