Actuarial valuations

Every even-numbered year, PERS publishes actuarial valuation reports for every PERS-participating employer, in addition to a system-wide valuation report. These reports are calculated and created by PERS' consulting actuary based on information gathered the previous (odd) year.

Valuations provide details on your Employer Contribution Rates for the upcoming biennium.

How reports are organized

Employer actuarial valuation reports are grouped together into large files called zip files. You need to download the zip file that contains your organization’s report and delete the rest of the file.

The valuation zip files are organized like this:

  • Independent employer valuations are in one zip file. (Independent employers are those who do not belong to the State and Local Government Rate Pool or School District Pool).
  • State and Local Government Rate Pool (SLGRP) valuations are separated into three zip files, grouped by employer number. State agencies, public universities, and other statewide entities* do not receive separate valuations; they refer to the valuation for employer number 1000.
  • School District Pool valuations are in one zip file. School districts that do not have side accounts do not have individual valuations; they refer to the valuation for employer number 3000.

The system-wide valuation report is a PDF file. This report provides actuarial information about the PERS system as a whole, including actuarial value of assets and the calculation of required contribution rates for PERS’ rate pools (i.e., School District Pool, SLGRP, and Oregon Public Service Retirement Plan (OPSRP)). All members originally hired on or after August 29, 2003, are included in OPSRP.

*Other statewide entities include semi-independent agencies, boards, commissions, and public corporations.
