Former bilingual teacher Teresa Pacyniak, who retired in April 2016, saved $120,535 toward a pension over 22 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Pacyniak would collect as much as $1.98 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Pacyniak received $41,539 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Pacyniak will have already received $128,393 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
