Former state school employee Eileen Pavletic, who retired in May 2018, saved $109,230 toward a pension over 22 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Pavletic would collect as much as $1.92 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.

The projection assumes Pavletic received $40,326 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Pavletic will have already received $124,644 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
