Money 01

Former state school employee Mary Langellier, who retired in June 2018, saved $94,680 toward a pension over 25 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Langellier would collect as much as $1.97 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kankakee Times.

The projection assumes Langellier received $41,352 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Langellier will have already received $127,816 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
