Former state university employee Clifford Gulyash, who retired in July 2017, saved $128,159 toward a pension over 25 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Gulyash would collect as much as $2.83 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Gulyash received $59,483 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Gulyash will have already received $183,855 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
