Former special education worker Constance McIntosh, who retired in October 2016, saved $121,310 toward a pension over 23 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, McIntosh would collect as much as $1.99 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes McIntosh received $41,777 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, McIntosh will have already received $129,128 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
