Money 03

Former state school employee Kent Snyder, who retired in May 2017, saved $175,234 toward a pension over 35 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Snyder would collect as much as $3.69 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.

The projection assumes Snyder received $77,665 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Snyder will have already received $240,055 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
