Former state university employee Jay Smith, who retired in April 2018, saved $110,839 toward a pension over 26 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Smith would collect as much as $7.9 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.

The projection assumes Smith received $166,033 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Smith will have already received $166,033 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
