Former state university employee Rajyasree Emmadi, who retired in September 2018, saved $188,523 toward a pension over 12 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Emmadi would collect as much as $3.53 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Emmadi received $74,197 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Emmadi will have already received $229,336 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
