Former state university employee David Olin, who retired in August 2018, saved $22,442 toward a pension over 12 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Olin would collect as much as $286,343, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Galesburg Reporter.

The projection assumes Olin received $6,018 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Olin will have already received $25,179 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
