Former teacher Rita Williams Jones, who retired in September 2016, saved $111,779 toward a pension over 23 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Williams Jones would collect as much as $2.03 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Williams Jones received $42,691 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Williams Jones will have already received $131,954 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
