How does the PSS work?

The PSS is a defined benefit scheme meaning your payable benefits are defined in advance according to a formula. This formula is based on your years of membership in the PSS, your contribution rates and your final average salary (FAS).

You’ll know before you retire that you have a defined amount invested and available for your retirement - planning for your future has never been easier.

To find out how you can contribute to the PSS, see Contributions.

Your benefits - at a glance

PSS benefits generally consist of three parts:

  • Member component - your fortnightly contributions plus earnings.
  • Productivity component - a fortnightly contribution by your employer plus earnings
  • Employer financed component - a defined amount paid by your employer at retirement. The amount will depend on your length of membership, your salary and your rate of contribution.

You can find more information on how we calculate your benefit and the different components in the Super book.
