Former state school employee Christine Katkus, who retired in June 2018, saved $102,763 toward a pension over 23 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Katkus would collect as much as $1.87 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.

The projection assumes Katkus received $39,260 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Katkus will have already received $121,349 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
