Worked example as rendered: Level I, step 0 = $61,785.00 a year, $5,148.75 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.

New Mexico sets a statutory minimum salary for each of the three teacher licensure levels and districts adopt their own schedules above it. Every district files its adopted schedule with the Public Education Department, and this grid is that filing.

The columns are licensure LEVELS, not degrees: a teacher moves from Level I to Level II to Level III by advancing their licence, which takes years of experience, so the higher levels are blank at the lowest steps. Those blanks are the district's own and are not missing data.
