Money 05

Former assistant principal Marilyn Rice, who retired in October 2018, saved $119,180 toward a pension over 25 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Rice would collect as much as $1.96 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Rice received $41,229 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Rice will have already received $127,435 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
