Former state university employee Ronald Gubrud, who retired in January 2017, saved $24,870 toward a pension over 12 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Gubrud would collect as much as $1.04 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Gubrud received $21,933 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Gubrud will have already received $44,524 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
