Former state university employee Joyce Tomanek, who retired in April 2018, saved $51,800 toward a pension over 15 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Tomanek would collect as much as $1.99 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Tomanek received $41,784 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Tomanek will have already received $84,822 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
