Money 03

Former state university employee Deren Shao, who retired in April 2016, saved $7,884 toward a pension over 5 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Shao would collect as much as $495,431, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Shao received $10,413 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Shao will have already received $10,413 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
