Former state university employee Cynthia Kelly, who retired in February 2017, saved $175,573 toward a pension over 35 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Kelly would collect as much as $2.92 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Kelly received $61,436 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Kelly will have already received $189,892 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
