Former state university employee Karen Peitzmeier, who retired in April 2018, saved $62,233 toward a pension over 21 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Peitzmeier would collect as much as $1.16 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Peitzmeier received $24,318 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Peitzmeier will have already received $75,165 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
