Former state school employee Bryan Mitchell, who retired in May 2016, saved $216,447 toward a pension over 33 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Mitchell would collect as much as $4.87 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.

The projection assumes Mitchell received $102,443 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Mitchell will have already received $316,640 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
