Money 01

Former special education worker Patricia Ladd, who retired in June 2018, saved $72,555 toward a pension over 16 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Ladd would collect as much as $1.34 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Ladd received $28,142 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Ladd will have already received $86,984 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
