Former state university employee Steven Terrell, who retired in June 2016, saved $125,864 toward a pension over 21 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Terrell would collect as much as $2.04 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.

The projection assumes Terrell received $42,856 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Terrell will have already received $132,464 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
