Former state university employee Edward Wojciechowski, who retired in September 2016, saved $546 toward a pension over 5 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Wojciechowski would collect as much as $24,577, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Wojciechowski received $516 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Wojciechowski will have already received $1,047 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
