Money 08

Former special education worker Avis Bryant, who retired in July 2018, saved $138,360 toward a pension over 30 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Bryant would collect as much as $2.88 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Bryant received $60,575 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Bryant will have already received $187,231 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
