Former state school employee Carol Campbell, who retired in June 2018, saved $202,896 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, Campbell would collect as much as $4.47 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.

The projection assumes Campbell received $94,030 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Campbell will have already received $290,638 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
