Money836

Former state university employee Diane Smith, who retired in May 2016, saved $47,790 toward a pension over 20 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Smith would collect as much as $995,030, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

The projection assumes Smith received $20,914 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Smith will have already received $64,642 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
