1. What is the PERSI Early Retirement Calculator?

The PERSI (Public Employee Retirement System of Idaho) Early Retirement Calculator estimates retirement benefits for public employees considering early retirement. It calculates the benefit amount based on service years, factor percentage, salary, and applicable penalties.
