Former state school employee Sylvia Bradley, who retired in June 2016, saved $67,411 toward a pension over 15 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Bradley would collect as much as $1.27 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes Bradley received $26,733 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Bradley will have already received $82,629 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
