Former state university employee Roger Laramee, who retired in April 2018, saved $152,163 toward a pension over 21 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Laramee would collect as much as $3.08 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Laramee received $64,773 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Laramee will have already received $200,206 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
