Former teacher Cheryl Jurincie, who retired in February 2016, saved $113,374 toward a pension over 22 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Jurincie would collect as much as $1.87 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Jurincie received $39,245 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Jurincie will have already received $121,302 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
