Former state university employee Roger Beachey, who retired in February 2017, saved $35,407 toward a pension over 16 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Beachey would collect as much as $648,902, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Beachey received $13,639 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Beachey will have already received $42,156 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
