Former EMT captain David Gorzycki, who retired in November 2018, saved $210,270 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, Gorzycki would collect as much as $4.81 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Gorzycki received $101,041 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Gorzycki will have already received $312,307 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
