Member Interest Credit for 2009 will be 5%
In past years, the Board of Trustees determined an annual interest credit rate for members and cities at its September meeting. Under HB 360, passed in the last session of the Texas Legislature, members will receive an annual interest credit of 5% on December 31, 2009. The city interest allocation will be determined by the Board of Trustees in February 2010 after taking into account the System’s 2009 net investment income.

Online Retirement Estimate Calculator Now Available. 
City employees may now create their own retirement estimates using a self-service calculator on the TMRS website. If you haven’t yet registered your account on the new MyTMRS, you may now register completely online, and within minutes you will be ready to use the new feature. To access the online calculator, you must first sign in to MyTMRS. After signing in, choose "Retirement Estimate" from the pulldown menu. Click on the “Request new estimate” link and enter a future retirement date. An estimate will then be displayed showing the various annuity and PLSD options. You can run as many estimates as you wish, for any month after you become eligible to retire. You will also be able to redisplay the last 10 estimates you have run for yourself during the past 60 days.
