Former state school employee Scott Soukup, who retired in June 2017, saved $182,353 toward a pension over 31 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Soukup would collect as much as $3.95 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.

The projection assumes Soukup received $83,023 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Soukup will have already received $256,616 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
