Former state school employee Thomas Madrigal, who retired in June 2016, saved $47,748 toward a pension over 14 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Madrigal would collect as much as $701,505, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Madrigal received $14,745 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Madrigal will have already received $61,687 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
