Money 02

Former state school employee Robyn Brown, who retired in December 2017, saved $22,931 toward a pension over 10 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Brown would collect as much as $520,339, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.

The projection assumes Brown received $10,937 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Brown will have already received $33,805 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
