Money 02

Former state university employee Ronald Duncan, who retired in July 2018, saved $73,255 toward a pension over 17 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Duncan would collect as much as $1.26 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Duncan received $26,479 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Duncan will have already received $81,843 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
