Former teacher Dimitre Gueorguiev, who retired in November 2016, saved $81,676 toward a pension over 13 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Gueorguiev would collect as much as $1.22 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Gueorguiev received $25,605 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Gueorguiev will have already received $107,121 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
