Former state school employee Kathryn Holmstrom, who retired in May 2016, saved $85,842 toward a pension over 20 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Holmstrom would collect as much as $1.59 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.

The projection assumes Holmstrom received $33,385 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Holmstrom will have already received $103,191 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
