Over 30 years of retirement, Joyce would collect as much as $378,725, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Joyce received $7,960 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Joyce will have already received $33,302 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
