Former EMT captain Robert Love, who retired in November 2016, saved $197,961 toward a pension over 30 years working for fire departments, Firemen's Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Love would collect as much as $4.76 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Love received $100,024 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Love will have already received $203,049 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
