Former state university employee Shankar Subramaniam, who retired in May 2018, saved $50,634 toward a pension over 9 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Subramaniam would collect as much as $2.34 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

The projection assumes Subramaniam received $49,285 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Subramaniam will have already received $100,049 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
