Worked example as rendered: B, step 0 = $56,445 a year, $4,703.75 a month spread over 12 months, $305.11 per work day on a 185-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
The document is the MSEA FY24-FY26 salary schedule; this grid is the Fiscal Year 2026 (2025-26 school year) page, the last of the three years in the file.
The schedule also prints a daily rate for every cell, derived from 185 contracted days. Only the annual figures are reproduced here.
Column headings are printed on two lines, so a single column can carry both a bachelor's and a master's credit label (for example B+45 / M).
- Soft spot: As of this harvest the district's negotiated-agreements page posts nothing newer than the FY24-FY26 schedule, so no 2026-27 grid was available.
