Former state university employee Gary Duffy, who retired in June 2017, saved $51,626 toward a pension over 20 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Duffy would collect as much as $882,699, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

The projection assumes Duffy received $18,553 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Duffy will have already received $57,346 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
