Former state university employee Barbara Kolb, who retired in April 2016, saved $48,620 toward a pension over 14 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Kolb would collect as much as $612,917, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.

The projection assumes Kolb received $12,883 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Kolb will have already received $53,896 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
