Former state university employee Charles Clark, who retired in January 2016, saved $76,410 toward a pension over 25 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Clark would collect as much as $1.92 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.

The projection assumes Clark received $40,394 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Clark will have already received $82,000 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
