Former state university employee David Klodd, who retired in October 2017, saved $83,266 toward a pension over 11 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Klodd would collect as much as $1.39 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Klodd received $29,240 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Klodd will have already received $90,378 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
