Free salary schedule check

Find your row and column

Use annual base pay before per-session work, special differentials or other additions. Leave it blank to see only the official table amounts.

Read the record first

Step and column answer different questions

01

Salary step

The experience row NYCPS approved. The Certificate of Salary Status records the employer's decision.

02

Education column

The degree-and-credit column NYCPS approved. A differential is not automatic, even after the coursework is complete.

03

Annual base

The published base for that row and column. Per-session work, special differentials and other additions are outside this check.

Common questions

Appointed teacher schedule

What is the NYC teacher salary for the 2025–26 school year?

The exact annual base depends on the teacher’s salary step and education differential. The appointed-teacher schedule for that school year is effective September 14, 2025. Use the checker with the exact row and column from the teacher’s salary record.

When does the September 2026 NYC teacher salary increase take effect?

The published NYCPS teacher salary schedule takes effect September 14, 2026. The checker uses the table in effect on the day you check.

How do I find my NYCPS salary step?

Use the Certificate of Salary Status sent after NYCPS reviews prior experience, or the step shown in the relevant payroll record. TeachPassport does not estimate a step from years worked because NYCPS decides which experience receives credit.

How do NYC teacher salary differentials work?

Salary differentials are education-based columns. They are not automatic. Teachers must apply through the NYCPS salary application system and NYCPS decides whether the submitted credits and degrees qualify.

Does this checker prove that NYCPS owes back pay?

No. It compares an exact row and column with the published annual base table. Effective dates, pro-rating, additional payments and employer decisions can explain a difference. NYCPS makes the placement and back-pay decision.
