Conducted annually by NCPERS and CBIZ, the survey captures in-depth compensation and bonus data on 90 common positions found at public pension funds, as well as details on benefits, fund oversight, salary increase planning, and bonuses.

The 2025 Public Pension Compensation Survey is now officially underway! The survey was distributed today to designated survey contacts at more than 600 public pensions across the U.S. If your organization did not receive a copy and is interested in participating, please contact research@ncpers.org.

NCPERS and CBIZ hosted an informational webinar today to review the survey instrument and answer any questions about how to navigate the survey. The deadline to complete the survey is Tuesday, June 3rd and results will be made available this fall. Please review our FAQs page for additional information or contact us for assistance.

About the Survey: The Public Pension Compensation Survey was created to help public pensions of all sizes make informed decisions about compensation, benefits, and hiring strategies. Conducted annually by NCPERS and CBIZ, the survey captures in-depth compensation and bonus data on 90 common positions found at public pension funds, as well as details on benefits, fund oversight, salary increase planning, and bonuses.

Why Participate: Your organization will receive complimentary access to the survey data to help benchmark your compensation and benefits packages against peers. Funds that do not participate may purchase the results for $2,500. View a sample of the 2024 Public Pension Compensation Survey report to learn more.

In addition to the report, NCPERS members that participate will receive access to an interactive dashboard that allows users to filter the data by various criteria—such as region, number of fund staff, or assets under management—enabling them to optimize the mix of funds to which they would like to compare themselves.

Additional HR Resources for Public Pensions: In addition to the Public Pension Compensation Survey, NCPERS offers a number of resources to industry HR professionals.

  • Sign up to participate in the HR Roundtable, one of NCPERS' recurring virtual roundtables where pension fund staff can ask questions, exchange ideas, and tackle common challenges. Participation is free for NCPERS members.

  • Attend the Public Pension HR Summit to learn best practices, connect with peers, and continue your professional development (NCPERS is recognized by SHRM to offer Professional Development Credits). Be sure to mark your calendars for the 2025 Public Pension HR Summit, held September 24-26 in Philadelphia.
