Former state school employee Sharon Carney, who retired in May 2016, saved $166,417 toward a pension over 28 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Carney would collect as much as $3.27 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.

The projection assumes Carney received $68,733 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Carney will have already received $212,447 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
