Money 04

Former state school employee Craig Witham, who retired in May 2016, saved $160,138 toward a pension over 30 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Witham would collect as much as $2.42 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Witham received $50,939 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Witham will have already received $213,109 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
