Former state school employee Francis Cahill, who retired in May 2016, saved $149,371 toward a pension over 30 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Cahill would collect as much as $2.95 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes NW Illinois News.

The projection assumes Cahill received $62,020 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Cahill will have already received $191,698 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
