Former state university employee Joan Ingram, who retired in January 2016, saved $102,682 toward a pension over 24 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Ingram would collect as much as $2.21 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Ingram received $46,512 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Ingram will have already received $143,763 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
