Former school nurse Barbara Frank, who retired in July 2018, saved $163,648 toward a pension over 28 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Frank would collect as much as $2.82 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Frank received $59,208 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Frank will have already received $183,006 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
