Former state university employee Brian Weiler, who retired in March 2016, saved $138,274 toward a pension over 30 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Weiler would collect as much as $3.29 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes Weiler received $69,190 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Weiler will have already received $140,456 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
