About Chapter 78: Employees are required to pay either the calculated percentage or 1.5 percent of salary, whichever is higher. Note: 1) The above Online Calculator provides a calculation based on mandated percentages; it does not provide a calculation based on individual 1.5 percent of salary. 2) Keep in mind that you are responsible for contributing the higher of the resulting calculated percentage or 1.5 percent of monthly salary. |
| You can choose from a range of plans and premiums. The lower the premium cost, the lower your mandated contribution amount will be; consider this when choosing your medical and prescriptions plans during Open Enrollment. |
|
The calculators compare your contribution amount for the plans currently offered by the Board of Education. For more information about Chapter 78 contributions, review the Percentage of Premium Calculation Charts provided by the Division of Pensions and Benefits. |
