Former state university employee Alain Fresco, who retired in July 2017, saved $117,404 toward a pension over 29 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Fresco would collect as much as $2.77 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Fresco received $58,242 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Fresco will have already received $118,231 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
