Former state school employee James Dewilde, who retired in May 2017, saved $85,569 toward a pension over 26 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Dewilde would collect as much as $1.82 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Dewilde received $38,196 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Dewilde will have already received $118,060 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
