Former state school employee Charles Schramm, who retired in June 2017, saved $183,736 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, Schramm would collect as much as $3.82 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.

The projection assumes Schramm received $80,327 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Schramm will have already received $248,283 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
