Former state university employee Nan Goggin, who retired in March 2018, saved $207,347 toward a pension over 28 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Goggin would collect as much as $5.25 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Goggin received $110,454 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Goggin will have already received $224,222 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
