Money 08

Former state university employee Mona Salmon, who retired in September 2018, saved $144,921 toward a pension over 26 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Salmon would collect as much as $3.09 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.

The projection assumes Salmon received $64,932 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Salmon will have already received $200,698 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
