Former state school employee Michael Kelly, who retired in July 2017, saved $207,373 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, Kelly would collect as much as $4.82 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Kelly received $101,237 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Kelly will have already received $312,913 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
