Former state university employee Margo Witkowsky, who retired in January 2016, saved $82,521 toward a pension over 28 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Witkowsky would collect as much as $1.98 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Will County Gazette.

The projection assumes Witkowsky received $41,518 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Witkowsky will have already received $84,282 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
