Former state university employee Pat Manfredi, who retired in July 2017, saved $129,160 toward a pension over 26 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Manfredi would collect as much as $2.87 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.

The projection assumes Manfredi received $60,286 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Manfredi will have already received $186,339 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
