Former state school employee Mary Jansen, who retired in May 2018, saved $133,507 toward a pension over 35 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Jansen would collect as much as $3.35 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Jansen received $70,493 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Jansen will have already received $143,101 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
