Money 02

Former teacher Felicia Frazier, who retired in October 2016, saved $109,610 toward a pension over 20 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Frazier would collect as much as $1.68 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Frazier received $35,374 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Frazier will have already received $147,991 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
