Former teacher Lois Jackson, who retired in January 2016, saved $61,930 toward a pension over 16 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Jackson would collect as much as $971,663, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Jackson received $20,423 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Jackson will have already received $63,126 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
