Former state school employee Laura Johnson, who retired in May 2017, saved $121,243 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, Johnson would collect as much as $1.74 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.

The projection assumes Johnson received $36,512 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Johnson will have already received $152,751 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
