Former state school employee Joie McDonald, who retired in May 2016, saved $45,885 toward a pension over 19 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, McDonald would collect as much as $919,196, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.

The projection assumes McDonald received $19,320 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, McDonald will have already received $59,717 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
