Former state university employee Mary Tymchyshyn, who retired in June 2017, saved $113,130 toward a pension over 22 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Tymchyshyn would collect as much as $2.52 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Tymchyshyn received $52,960 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Tymchyshyn will have already received $163,694 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
