How these estimates work

Default benefits load of 63% reflects BLS Employer Costs for Employee Compensation (June 2026): state and local government employers paid $25.78 per hour in benefits on $40.67 in wages. Default investment yield reflects Texas local government pool rates of about 3.6% reported for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Salary defaults are typical national ranges; local pay varies.
Staff-time value is shown for context and is not added to the dollar total, since some of it overlaps with Schedule A. Refinancing savings are gross annual interest savings before issuance costs. These figures are planning estimates only. They are not an audit, a legal opinion or investment advice, and actual results depend on your state's rules and your organization's records.
