Worked example as rendered: B, step 1 = $60,058 a year, $5,004.83 a month spread over 12 months, $314.44 per work day on a 191-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Appendix A-1 of the SWEA agreement (Aug 16, 2023 through the 2028-29 school year); the 2026-27 grid is labelled '2026-2027 Salary Schedule (3.00%)'.
The grid also prints a 'Years' column mapping each step to years of service; for 2026-27 step 4 covers years 4-5, step 6 covers 7-8 and step 12 covers 14-16.
The B column is frozen at $65,558 from step 6 upward; that is what the document prints, not a parsing artifact.
Article VI.B sets a 191-day teacher work year.
