Former state school employee Janet Rodgers, who retired in May 2016, saved $105,048 toward a pension over 24 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Rodgers would collect as much as $1.87 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kankakee Times.

The projection assumes Rodgers received $39,220 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Rodgers will have already received $121,226 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
