Money 08

Former state university employee Joseph Lieb, who retired in May 2016, saved $86,133 toward a pension over 30 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Lieb would collect as much as $1.87 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Lieb received $39,289 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Lieb will have already received $121,439 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
