Former substitute teacher Mark Lipscomb, who retired in December 2016, saved $93,492 toward a pension over 17 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Lipscomb would collect as much as $1.48 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Lipscomb received $31,087 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Lipscomb will have already received $96,088 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
