Former state university employee Ramesh Gupta, who retired in July 2018, saved $219,607 toward a pension over 32 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Gupta would collect as much as $7.74 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.

The projection assumes Gupta received $162,634 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Gupta will have already received $330,147 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
