Former state university employee Marie Haage, who retired in November 2016, saved $52,437 toward a pension over 12 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Haage would collect as much as $858,441, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Haage received $18,043 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Haage will have already received $55,769 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
