Former state university employee Thomas Hexamer, who retired in January 2018, saved $42,702 toward a pension over 17 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Hexamer would collect as much as $1.72 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes Hexamer received $36,079 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Hexamer will have already received $73,240 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
