Former state school employee Gregory Troyer, who retired in June 2017, saved $242,912 toward a pension over 35 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Troyer would collect as much as $5.25 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Troyer received $110,371 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Troyer will have already received $341,145 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
