Former teacher Maria Palladino Hesslau, who retired in November 2016, saved $110,968 toward a pension over 23 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Palladino Hesslau would collect as much as $1.31 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Palladino Hesslau received $27,583 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Palladino Hesslau will have already received $115,395 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
