Former state school employee Karen Harris, who retired in May 2016, saved $60,315 toward a pension over 17 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Harris would collect as much as $882,590, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Quincy Reporter.

The projection assumes Harris received $18,551 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Harris will have already received $77,611 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
