Former state university employee Dan Roth, who retired in June 2017, saved $258,597 toward a pension over 21 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Roth would collect as much as $4.12 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Roth received $86,506 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Roth will have already received $267,381 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
