Former teacher Rosemary Boyd House, who retired in March 2016, saved $80,625 toward a pension over 28 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Boyd House would collect as much as $1.8 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Boyd House received $37,816 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Boyd House will have already received $116,885 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
