Former state school employee Rebecca Toon, who retired in May 2018, saved $125,777 toward a pension over 33 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Toon would collect as much as $2.44 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Toon received $51,241 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Toon will have already received $158,380 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
