Former state school employee Toni Richter, who retired in May 2017, saved $144,448 toward a pension over 36 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Richter would collect as much as $3.04 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.

The projection assumes Richter received $63,828 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Richter will have already received $197,286 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
