Former state school employee Susan Routt, who retired in May 2016, saved $137,819 toward a pension over 40 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Routt would collect as much as $2.97 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rock Island Today.

The projection assumes Routt received $62,513 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Routt will have already received $193,221 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
