Former firefighter John Moser, who retired in November 2017, saved $166,760 toward a pension over 27 years working for fire departments, Firemen's Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Moser would collect as much as $3.29 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes Moser received $69,173 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Moser will have already received $213,806 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
