Former teacher Kevin Ryan, who retired in November 2017, saved $88,751 toward a pension over 14 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Ryan would collect as much as $1.21 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Ryan received $25,338 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Ryan will have already received $106,004 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
