Former teacher Susan Holtzman, who retired in October 2016, saved $141,274 toward a pension over 44 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Holtzman would collect as much as $2.95 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Holtzman received $61,975 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Holtzman will have already received $191,558 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
