Former state university employee Daniel Gandor, who retired in January 2017, saved $15,222 toward a pension over 10 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Gandor would collect as much as $1.37 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Gandor received $28,695 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Gandor will have already received $28,695 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
