Money 01

Former special education worker Noreen Wojtan, who retired in July 2016, saved $168,240 toward a pension over 30 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Wojtan would collect as much as $2.92 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Wojtan received $61,365 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Wojtan will have already received $189,673 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
