Money 03

Former state university employee Yasmin Ranney, who retired in July 2018, saved $107,222 toward a pension over 21 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Ranney would collect as much as $1.89 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Ranney received $39,688 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Ranney will have already received $122,672 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
