Former state school employee Dorothy Levanti, who retired in June 2016, saved $168,947 toward a pension over 33 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Levanti would collect as much as $3.22 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

The projection assumes Levanti received $67,605 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Levanti will have already received $208,960 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
