Former state university employee Stephen Marsh, who retired in October 2016, saved $16,064 toward a pension over 9 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Marsh would collect as much as $793,517, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Marsh received $16,679 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Marsh will have already received $16,679 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
