Worked example as rendered: YF1B1, step 1 = $76,175 a year, $6,347.92 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Section VI of the adopted budget prints the district salary schedules by bargaining unit; this is the Yonkers Federation of Teachers, A.F.T./NEA table, salaries effective 7/1/2025.
The budget prints the table with the lane codes down the side and the steps across the top; it is republished here with one row per step, which is the same table read the other way round.
Lane codes are the district's own. YF1 and YF3 are two parallel sets of the same lanes; B1 to B6 are the bachelor levels and M1 to M6 the master levels. Blank cells are lanes that stop before step 16.
Longevity is paid outside the grid: the same page prints premiums of $2,485 at 18 years, $7,456 at 20, $8,225 at 21 and $10,710 at 25 for the YF1 and YF3 lanes.
- Soft spot: The same YFT table also prints two further lanes, YF201 and YF202, whose salaries start at $34,824 and $43,532. The budget gives no legend for the codes and they are far below every teacher lane, so they are not reproduced here.
- Soft spot: The budget prints codes, not degree names, so the exact credit-hour requirement behind each B and M level is not stated in this document.
- Soft spot: The lowest cell on this grid is $76,175 and the highest $167,774, both outside the range usually seen on a teacher schedule; they are the figures the adopted budget prints for Yonkers.
