Money 04

Former state university employee Brian Kahn, who retired in August 2018, saved $45,152 toward a pension over 10 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Kahn would collect as much as $704,182, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes Kahn received $14,801 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Kahn will have already received $45,748 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
