The exact calculation may vary depending on the state and regulations in your specific TRS system.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if your annual base salary is $60,000 and the percentage to buy a year is 7%, the cost to buy one year of service credit would be $4,200 ($60,000 x 0.07).<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to note that this expense is not a lump-sum payment. TRS generally offers different options for repayment. Some members choose to pay for the additional years upfront, while others may elect to spread the cost over a set number of years.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Can_I_buy_years_of_service_credit_at_any_age\"><\/span>1.
