Former state university employee Heidi Koenig, who retired in November 2017, saved $124,488 toward a pension over 24 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Koenig would collect as much as $2.17 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.

The projection assumes Koenig received $45,716 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Koenig will have already received $141,303 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
