Former paramedic Julie Coy, who retired in December 2016, saved $192,169 toward a pension over 31 years working for fire departments, Firemen's Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Coy would collect as much as $4.93 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Coy received $103,652 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Coy will have already received $210,414 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
