CALCULATE YOUR INVESTMENT RETURN

Maximize Your Potential

Now it’s time to look at whether it’s worth it.  How much more will you make per year?  As a teacher, you invest so much time and energy into your students. Now is the time to invest in yourself and your future. You decided to enter the world of education because you have a passion for teaching and making a difference. Deciding to continue your education with teacher professional development courses is investing in yourself! The sooner you get started, the more impact you will have on your students and your income throughout your career.

*For this calculation, we used the national average longevity (71 years) and PERA's average age of retirement (58.8 years). It's always best to talk to an accountant about personal finances and advice.
