Former state university employee Jon Geiger, who retired in January 2016, saved $100,392 toward a pension over 30 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Geiger would collect as much as $2.37 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.

The projection assumes Geiger received $49,801 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Geiger will have already received $101,096 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
