Calculating TRS 373 and On-Behalf (Annual Amounts/Split Funds)

The following calculations are based on annual amounts and split-fund (general/federal funds with a grant code) distributions. These calculations should be used to verify the TRS 373* and On-Behalf** amounts on the Next Year Interface Budget Reports. These reports are created through the Interface NY Payroll to NY Budget Extract Reports. TRS 373 and TRS On-Behalf should not calculate for federally funded employees with a grant code. However, the TRS 373 amount for the federal fund is calculated and used for the TRS On-Behalf calculation of the general fund.

Adjusted State Minimum Calculation

A. State Minimum Salary (as recorded on the Job Info tab) x Fund Percentage = State Minimum Salary by Fund

B. State Minimum Salary by Fund x District CEI Rate = Adjusted State Minimum Salary

(A)

State Minimum Salary
(A)

x Fund Percentage
(A) and (B)

equals State Minimum Salary by Fund
(B)

multiplied by District CEI
(B)

Adjusted State Minimum Salary
$29,589.00161/50%= $14,794.50x 1.11= $16,421.90
211/50%= $14,794.50x 1.11= $16,421.90
= $32,843.79

Adjusted TRS Salary above Adjusted State Minimum Calculation

A. Eligible TRS Salary x Fund Percentage = Annual Eligible TRS Salary by Fund

B. Annual Eligible TRS Salary by Fund - Adjusted State Minimum = Adjusted TRS Salary above Adjusted State Minimum

(A)

Eligible TRS Salary
(A)

x Fund Percentage
(A) and (B)

equals Annual Eligible TRS Salary by Fund
(B)

minus Adjusted State Minimum
(B)

Adjusted TRS Salary above Adjusted State Minimum
$36,000.00161/50%= $18,000.00- $16,421.90= $1,578.11
211/50%= $18,000.00- $16,421.90= $1,578.11
= $3,156.21

TRS 373 District Contribution Calculation

Adjusted TRS Salary above Adjusted State Minimum x TRS 373 District Contribution Percentage (6.644%) = TRS 373 District Contribution

Adjusted TRS Salary above Adjusted State Minimummultiplied by TRS 373 District Contribution Percentage(6.644%)TRS 373 District Contribution
$1,578.11 (Fund 161)x .06644= $104.85 (1)
$1,578.11 (Fund 211)x .06644= $104.85 (2)
= $209.70

State Matching Calculation

A. Eligible TRS Salary x Fund Percentage = Annual Eligible TRS Salary by Fund

B. Annual Eligible TRS Salary by Fund x TRS Rates (District 6.644% + TRS-Care 1%) = State Matching

Note: State Matching is not calculated on any fund with a grant code.

(A)

Eligible TRS Salary
(A)

x Fund Percentage
(A) and (B)

equals Annual Eligible TRS Salary by Fund
(B)

multiplied by TRS Rates (District 6.644% + TRS-Care 1%)
(B)

State Matching (Fund 161)
$36,000.00161/50%$18,000.00x .07644= $1,375.92

TRS Federal Grant and Care Amount Calculation

A. Eligible TRS Salary x Fund Percentage = Annual Eligible TRS Salary by Fund

B. Annual Eligible TRS Salary by Fund x TRS Rates (Federal 6.644% + TRS-Care 1%) = TRS Federal Grant and Care Amount

(A)

Eligible TRS Salary
(A)

x Fund Percentage
(A) and (B)

equals Annual Eligible TRS Salary by Fund
(B)

multiplied by Federal (6.644%) + TRS-Care (1%)
(B)

TRS Federal Grant and Care Amount
$36,000.00211/50%$18,000.00x .07644= $1,375.92

TRS On-Behalf Calculation

State Matching (Fund 161) - TRS 373 District Contribution for General Fund (161) = TRS On-Behalf

State Matching (Fund 161)minus TRS 373 District Contribution for General Fund (161)TRS On-Behalf (Fund 161)
$1,375.92- $104.85 (1)= $1,271.07

TRS On-Behalf (Fund 161) - TRS 373 District Contribution for the Federal Fund with Grant Code (211) = TRS On-Behalf

TRS On-Behalf (Fund 161)minus TRS 373 District Contribution for the Federal Fund with Grant Code (211)TRS On-Behalf
$1,271.07- $104.85 (2)= $1,166.22
