Former state school employee James Braun, who retired in May 2017, saved $247,150 toward a pension over 38 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Braun would collect as much as $5.25 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.

The projection assumes Braun received $110,338 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Braun will have already received $341,043 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
