Former state university employee Timothy Garrow, who retired in October 2016, saved $176,835 toward a pension over 24 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Garrow would collect as much as $2.56 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Garrow received $53,789 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Garrow will have already received $225,034 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
