Worked example as rendered: Non-TRA Eligible - Bachelors, years of exp 0 = $40,000 a year, $3,333.33 a month spread over 12 months. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Lane names are the document's own column headers. 'TRA' is the Teacher Retention Allotment created by HB 2 (2025); the 'Non-TRA Eligible' column is for staff on this scale who do not qualify for it.
The State Minimum column stops at 20 years of experience, so those cells are null for steps 21 and above.
The document adds $1,050 for a master's degree and $1,550 for a PhD in an appropriate field, and states first-year non-certified teachers make $39,999. Those amounts are not in the grid.
- Soft spot: The document does not state the number of contract days, so work_days is null.
