Tax Estimator


Please read the following BEFORE using a tax estimator!

The Results provided by the Tax Estimators are provided for purposes of illustration and discussion only and do not reflect the actual amount you will receive when you retire. Tax will be determined after your employer submits your final salary and service data to our office and subsequent receipt of your retirement application.

Prior to using the Tax Estimator, please be aware of the following information:

  • Estimates are based on the data you input and are not official estimates.
  • Tax calculations are determined using current tax tables and are based only on the amount of the estimated benefit. They are not a determination of your actual taxes during retirement.
  • Federal law may limit benefits to some highly compensated members.
  • The State of Nebraska does not offer annuities for the voluntary Deferred Compensation Plan.

In this video, we demonstrate how to use the NPERS Tax Estimator to determine whether additional federal income tax withholding may be needed in retirement, especially if you continue working after you retire. By comparing taxes on your annuity, your wages, and your combined income, you can make more informed withholding decisions and reduce the risk of owing money at tax time.
