Former state university employee Peter Cannella, who retired in December 2016, saved $186,090 toward a pension over 30 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Cannella would collect as much as $4.09 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Cannella received $85,898 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Cannella will have already received $265,502 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
