Former state school employee Kathryn English, who retired in May 2017, saved $104,537 toward a pension over 33 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, English would collect as much as $1.81 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.

The projection assumes English received $38,104 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, English will have already received $117,775 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
