Former teacher Cherlyn Kelly, who retired in October 2017, saved $42,490 toward a pension over 13 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Kelly would collect as much as $659,072, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Kelly received $13,853 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Kelly will have already received $42,819 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
