Former state university employee John Skowronski, who retired in June 2018, saved $151,590 toward a pension over 18 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Skowronski would collect as much as $2.47 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.

The projection assumes Skowronski received $51,929 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Skowronski will have already received $160,508 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
