Former state university employee Marty Robinson, who retired in January 2018, saved $96,280 toward a pension over 22 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Robinson would collect as much as $1.51 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Robinson received $31,740 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Robinson will have already received $98,105 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
