Former state university employee Roger Kalisiak, who retired in March 2018, saved $5,745 toward a pension over 5 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Kalisiak would collect as much as $42,817, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.

The projection assumes Kalisiak received $900 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 6 years of retirement, Kalisiak will have already received $5,824 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
