Former EMT captain Dave Dimaggio, who retired in December 2018, saved $238,859 toward a pension over 31 years working for fire departments, Firemen's Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Dimaggio would collect as much as $4.94 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes Dimaggio received $103,745 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Dimaggio will have already received $320,665 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
