Former teacher Timothy Poulemanos, who retired in December 2018, saved $69,168 toward a pension over 16 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Poulemanos would collect as much as $1.19 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Poulemanos received $25,059 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Poulemanos will have already received $77,455 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
