Money 04

Former state university employee Diana Wyatt, who retired in June 2016, saved $104,022 toward a pension over 30 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Wyatt would collect as much as $2.9 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Wyatt received $60,875 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Wyatt will have already received $123,576 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
