Former state school employee Mary Jansson, who retired in June 2016, saved $209,704 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, Jansson would collect as much as $3.37 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Jansson received $70,913 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Jansson will have already received $219,184 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
