Former state school employee Patrick Johnson, who retired in July 2016, saved $32,406 toward a pension over 6 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Johnson would collect as much as $408,648, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Johnson received $8,589 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Johnson will have already received $35,933 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
