Money 07

Former state university employee Kimberly Parkinson, who retired in August 2017, saved $35,127 toward a pension over 16 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Parkinson would collect as much as $789,184, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.

The projection assumes Parkinson received $16,588 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Parkinson will have already received $51,273 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
