Former state university employee Robert Mahoney, who retired in August 2017, saved $33,444 toward a pension over 15 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Mahoney would collect as much as $764,441, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Mahoney received $16,068 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Mahoney will have already received $49,665 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
