Over 30 years of retirement, Nykiel would collect as much as $5.13 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Nykiel received $107,808 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Nykiel will have already received $333,223 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
