Money 01

Former state school employee Elizabeth Williams, who retired in May 2017, saved $77,102 toward a pension over 18 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Williams would collect as much as $1.41 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Grundy Reporter.

The projection assumes Williams received $29,723 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Williams will have already received $91,871 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
