Former firefighter Robert Oliver, who retired in December 2016, saved $153,209 toward a pension over 26 years working for fire departments, Firemen's Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Oliver would collect as much as $3.02 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Oliver received $63,412 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Oliver will have already received $195,999 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
