Former state university employee Francis Loth, who retired in March 2018, saved $79,548 toward a pension over 12 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Loth would collect as much as $1.6 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Loth received $33,624 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Loth will have already received $103,929 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
