Former state school employee Daniel Martin, who retired in May 2016, saved $124,973 toward a pension over 32 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Martin would collect as much as $2.68 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Martin received $56,321 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Martin will have already received $174,083 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
