Former state university employee Carl Roberts, who retired in January 2019, saved $88,407 toward a pension over 20 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Roberts 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 Roberts received $24,336 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Roberts will have already received $101,813 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
