Former state school employee Mark Luthin, who retired in May 2016, saved $174,337 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, Luthin would collect as much as $3.62 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.

The projection assumes Luthin received $76,018 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Luthin will have already received $234,965 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
