Former state school employee Karla Jaklitsch, who retired in June 2017, saved $93,601 toward a pension over 20 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Jaklitsch would collect as much as $1.63 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.

The projection assumes Jaklitsch received $34,173 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Jaklitsch will have already received $105,625 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
