Former state university employee Charles Davis, who retired in April 2017, saved $3,260 toward a pension over 7 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Davis would collect as much as $52,740, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Davis received $1,108 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Davis will have already received $3,424 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
