Money 05

Former state university employee Rick Johnston, who retired in July 2017, saved $274 toward a pension over 1 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Johnston would collect as much as $185,075, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes Johnston received $3,890 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Johnston will have already received $3,890 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
