Former state university employee Joy Tobin, who retired in December 2017, saved $91,625 toward a pension over 10 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Tobin would collect as much as $2.14 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Tobin received $44,952 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Tobin will have already received $138,943 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
