Former state school employee Wayne Albers, who retired in May 2016, saved $50,905 toward a pension over 13 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Albers would collect as much as $904,952, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.

The projection assumes Albers received $19,021 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Albers will have already received $58,793 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
