Former state school employee William Rosewell, who retired in June 2016, saved $158,346 toward a pension over 27 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Rosewell would collect as much as $3.41 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Rosewell received $71,703 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Rosewell will have already received $221,627 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
