Worked example as rendered: Lane 010 (Bachelors), step B = $60,250 a year, $5,020.83 a month spread over 12 months, $317.11 per work day on a 190-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Frederick pays on a career ladder: the dollar grid reproduced here is the base 190-day, 7-hour scale, and Levels 3A and 4 use the identical lane-and-step dollars with stated add-ons (National Board or a master's in a non-NBC area adds $10,000; an NBC that does not meet the state teacher definition adds $5,000; lead teacher adds $5,000; distinguished teacher adds $10,000).
A Level 1 Bachelors column and a Level 2 Bachelors (fewer than 30 credits) column carry identical dollars and are shown once as Lane 010.
A doctorate adds a $2,000 salary enhancement to the appropriate lane and step.
Step A carries no published dollar value in any lane.
Step X is a legacy step for teachers who entered their 26th year or more of teaching in 2016-17 and chose to remain on the MA/30 or 60-hour scale, and is published only for Lane 020 and Lane 040.
For 11-month teacher positions add 18 days at the per diem rate; for 12-month positions add 54 days.
- Soft spot: Lanes are keyed to years of service as well as steps in the source document; the years-of-service column is not reproduced here.
