Former state school employee Cindy Carlton, who retired in May 2017, saved $100,808 toward a pension over 43 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Carlton would collect as much as $2.76 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.

The projection assumes Carlton received $58,096 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Carlton will have already received $117,935 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
