Worked example as rendered: Minimum annual salary (10-month contract), years of experience credited 0 = $33,960 a year, $2,830.00 a month spread over 12 months, $181.60 per work day on a 187-day year. Monthly and daily figures are arithmetic on the published annual cell, before any supplement, stipend or deduction.

Texas has a single minimum by years of experience (no degree lanes). Nearly every district pays above it; district schedules are set locally.

The 187-day figure is the standard 10-month teacher contract length used by TEA's minimum salary schedule and is used only for the per-day estimate.

Soft spot: TEA publishes the annual figure as monthly salary times 10; the effective date is the start of the 2025-26 school fiscal year (September 1, 2025).
