Money 04

Former state university employee Nancy Kingsbury, who retired in October 2016, saved $9,386 toward a pension over 5 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Kingsbury would collect as much as $750,243, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Kingsbury received $15,769 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Kingsbury will have already received $15,769 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
