Former teacher Bella Rudnick, who retired in August 2016, saved $142,587 toward a pension over 34 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Rudnick would collect as much as $3.26 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Rudnick received $68,546 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Rudnick will have already received $211,868 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
