Worked example as rendered: B.S. Degree, step 1 = $55,244 a year, $4,603.67 a month spread over 12 months, $298.62 per work day on a 185-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.
Each lane is published on its own page as an index times a base, with the state Educator Salary Adjustment of $5,845 added; the figure reproduced here is the document's Teach Base 'Total' column, which is the 7 hours a day, 185 day contract.
Each lane page also prints four higher sub-lanes on 8 hours a day: Elementary (K-6) at plus 14.2857 percent, Secondary teachers including media on 6 periods at plus 9.7297 percent, and secondary extra period for half a year at plus 17.5676 percent or a full year at plus 25.4054 percent. Those sub-lanes are not reproduced.
Lanes 4 (B.S. + 50), 5 (B.S. + 70) and 6 (M.S.) carry identical index values and therefore identical dollar figures in the published document.
Lanes 1 and 2 top out at step 12, lane 3 at step 14 and lane 4 at step 16; the remaining lanes run to step 18. Blank cells are cells the document leaves empty.
Secondary substitute pay is $50.00 per period.
- Soft spot: Utah has legislated the split of Alpine School District into three districts; this is the schedule Alpine adopted for 2026-27 while it was still one district.
