Money041

Former teacher Linda Stoller, who retired in July 2018, saved $138,179 toward a pension over 33 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Stoller would collect as much as $3 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Stoller received $62,962 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Stoller will have already received $194,610 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
