Worked example as rendered: BA, step 1 = $48,700 a year, $4,058.33 a month spread over 12 months, $264.67 per work day on a 184-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.

Appendix A of the agreement between the Birmingham Board of Education and the Birmingham Education Association, July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2028. The only grid printed is the 2025-26 Salary Schedule.

2026-2027 is a wage reopener. At a minimum every member advances a step, and $2,400 is added to Step 13 across all lanes in 2026-2027; no 2026-27 grid is published in the contract.

The contract cites '184 total teacher workdays' in a worked example of additional-assignment pay.

Soft spot: The grid is a page image inside the PDF with no text layer, so the figures were transcribed. They were checked against the schedule's own arithmetic: BA+15 is exactly BA plus $2,000, MA+15 is MA plus $1,000, the MA+30/NBC/EdS lane is MA plus $2,000, PhD is MA plus $3,000, and BA steps 1-8 rise by exactly $2,500.
