Money 01

Former grants manager Michelle Frazier, who retired in April 2018, saved $117,479 toward a pension over 29 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Frazier would collect as much as $2.89 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Frazier received $60,670 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Frazier will have already received $123,160 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
