Former state university employee Anthony Zillen, who retired in January 2016, saved $131,441 toward a pension over 26 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Zillen would collect as much as $3.03 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.

The projection assumes Zillen received $63,788 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Zillen will have already received $197,163 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
