Former state school employee Sharon Martin, who retired in May 2017, saved $85,574 toward a pension over 21 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Martin would collect as much as $1.54 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kankakee Times.

The projection assumes Martin received $32,332 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Martin will have already received $99,935 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
