STRP – Saskatchewan Teachers' Retirement Plan

Saskatchewan

Full pension and early retirement

You get a full pension, with no reduction, at the first of these:

  • Age 65
  • 30 years of service
  • 85 points from age 55
  • Age 60 with 20 years of service

Points are your age plus your years of service.

What retiring early costs: an example

STRP's rules differ from member to member, such as by when service was earned, so there is no single example here. Your plan's statement or its estimator gives your pension for each date you could retire.

What to copy from your paperwork

To use your own numbers in the income timeline:

The STF's Pension Estimator gives your pension for the retirement dates you choose. If it lets you add pay raises, leave them at 0%: this tool takes the amounts as today's dollars. Enter two or more ages, including your first with no reduction, with the pension until 65 (with the bridge, on service to June 2015) and from 65.

STRP's own estimator: the STF's Pension Estimator.

Where these rules come from

These rules are simplified. Your plan's own estimate is the one to rely on; see the disclaimer.
