Former state school employee Karryl Ellis, who retired in May 2017, saved $129,404 toward a pension over 34 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Ellis would collect as much as $2.72 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.

The projection assumes Ellis received $57,147 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Ellis will have already received $176,635 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
