Worked example as rendered: Rank III, years of experience 0 = $41,180.00 a year, $3,431.67 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Kentucky ranks: Rank I is generally a master's degree plus 30 approved hours (or a specialist/doctorate), Rank II a master's degree or planned fifth-year program, Rank III a bachelor's degree; Ranks IV and V are lower-credential classifications. KDE's report lists up to three district-defined 'steps' inside a rank; only steps the district reported are shown.
Values are the district's single-salary schedule as filed with the Kentucky Department of Education for fiscal year 2025-26 (report generated February 19, 2026).
- Soft spot: Effective date is the fiscal-year start (July 1, 2025); the KDE report does not print a board-adoption date.
- Soft spot: This grid comes from a Certified Salary Report generated by the Kentucky Department of Education on 19 February 2026. KDE has since reorganised its site and the report is no longer published at a stable address, so the source link points to its School Finance section rather than to the file.
