Money 01

Former state school employee Mark Hahn, who retired in June 2017, saved $263,213 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, Hahn would collect as much as $5.45 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.

The projection assumes Hahn received $114,588 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Hahn will have already received $354,181 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
