Former state school employee Becky Guyton, who retired in May 2016, saved $192,502 toward a pension over 31 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Guyton would collect as much as $2.49 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.

The projection assumes Guyton received $52,435 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Guyton will have already received $219,368 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
