Former state school employee Janet Caylor, who retired in June 2016, saved $105,277 toward a pension over 25 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Caylor would collect as much as $1.68 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.

The projection assumes Caylor received $35,274 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Caylor will have already received $109,028 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
