Former state university employee Gwendolyn Davis, who retired in May 2018, saved $62,327 toward a pension over 30 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Davis would collect as much as $1.56 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Davis received $32,810 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Davis will have already received $66,604 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
