Former state university employee Roxanne Fentress, who retired in December 2016, saved $61,252 toward a pension over 25 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Fentress would collect as much as $1.12 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Fentress received $23,533 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Fentress will have already received $72,738 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
