Worked example as rendered: B, step 1 = $53,524 a year, $4,460.33 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
- Soft spot: The scanned column headings render the B as an 8.
- Soft spot: Steps 1 to 4 are printed above the step 5 figures in every column, so the schedule is not monotonic at the bottom; the 2024-25 page of the same appendix is monotonic throughout.
