Former state university employee Steven Kohler, who retired in January 2016, saved $183,074 toward a pension over 25 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Kohler would collect as much as $3.8 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes Kohler received $79,853 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Kohler will have already received $246,818 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
