Former state university employee Phyllis Bannon Nilles, who retired in May 2016, saved $76,568 toward a pension over 24 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Bannon Nilles would collect as much as $1.68 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Bannon Nilles received $35,397 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Bannon Nilles will have already received $109,409 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
