Former special education worker Irma Pina, who retired in August 2016, saved $106,760 toward a pension over 20 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Pina would collect as much as $1.77 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Pina received $37,247 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Pina will have already received $115,126 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
