Retirement

Retirement planning is important for all MIT employees at all stages of their lives and their careers — not just for those nearing retirement. MIT offers a variety of programs to assist you with your savings and retirement goals.

Another way to access information about MIT's retirement benefits is through this multi-media presentation. You can go through the presentation at your own pace, on your own time.

The retirement pages of this website include two types of resources — resources for those who are engaged in long-term retirement planning and resources for those who are getting ready to retire. There is a wealth of information available online, including links to other helpful resources. You also can schedule a one-on-one meeting for retirement counseling.
