Money 08

Former special education worker Madeline Dunn, who retired in July 2017, saved $133,752 toward a pension over 23 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Dunn would collect as much as $2.18 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Dunn received $45,920 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Dunn will have already received $141,935 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
