Former state school employee Teresa Paul, who retired in May 2018, saved $125,970 toward a pension over 30 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Paul would collect as much as $2.62 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Paul received $55,033 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Paul will have already received $170,102 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
