Former state school employee Tarryl Saipe, who retired in June 2016, saved $140,639 toward a pension over 28 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Saipe would collect as much as $2.38 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Saipe received $49,973 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Saipe will have already received $154,461 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
