Former state school employee Mark Mittelstaedt, who retired in May 2018, saved $160,062 toward a pension over 35 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

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

The projection assumes Mittelstaedt received $68,813 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Mittelstaedt will have already received $212,693 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
