Former state university employee Farokh Eslahi, who retired in July 2017, saved $161,043 toward a pension over 18 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Eslahi would collect as much as $2.59 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes Eslahi received $54,366 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Eslahi will have already received $168,040 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
