Former state university employee Brian Knutson, who retired in July 2016, saved $864 toward a pension over 1 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Knutson would collect as much as $99,822, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.

The projection assumes Knutson received $2,098 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Knutson will have already received $2,098 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
