Former state university employee Robert Milanec, who retired in January 2018, saved $112,065 toward a pension over 20 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Milanec would collect as much as $1.97 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Milanec received $41,354 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Milanec will have already received $127,822 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
