It's easy to figure out how much your paycheck will be (before taxes and deductions, that is). If you know just a few key facts about your work schedule and your hourly rate, you can calculate your check for yourself.

School districts pay their employees on a 12-month basis, which means the salary you earn in 10 months is spread out in 24 payment over 12 months. Pay is distributed evenly throughout the year, regardless of the number of days in the payroll period.

Hours Per Day X Hourly Rate = Daily Rate        Daily Rate X # of Annual Work Days = Annual Salary 

Annual Salary ÷ 24 (number of paychecks per year) = Gross Pay Per Check

In the examples below we will look at the pay for a bus driver, classroom aide and cafeteria worker.
