Former teacher Stephanie Davis, who retired in December 2018, saved $167,652 toward a pension over 31 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Davis would collect as much as $2.57 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Davis received $53,970 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Davis will have already received $225,791 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
