Over 30 years of retirement, Salzman 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 Salzman received $25,350 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Salzman will have already received $106,056 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
