Former state school employee Wendy Carter, who retired in May 2017, saved $126,205 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, Carter would collect as much as $2.62 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kankakee Times.

The projection assumes Carter received $55,109 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Carter will have already received $170,336 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
