Money 05

Former elementary teacher Marilyn Williams, who retired in September 2016, saved $2,369 toward a pension over 1 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Williams would collect as much as $120,583, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Williams received $2,534 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Williams will have already received $2,534 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
