How to Calculate Rates
To calculate your Long-Term Disability twice-a-month premium deduction, follow these steps:
- Enter Contracted Yearly Salary but not more than $100,000
- Divide Salary by 12 to get Monthly Salary
- Divide Monthly Salary by 100 to get the number of Units
- Multiply Units by plan rate
EXAMPLE: Bi-Monthly Employee, $45,000 Yearly Salary (24 paychecks)
- Calculate Monthly Salary: $45,000 (Yearly) divided by 12 = $3,750 (Monthly)
- Calculate Units: $3,750 (Monthly) divided by 100 = 37.50 Units
- Calculate Premium Rate: 37.50 Units x $0.080 = $3.00 twice-a-month.
EXAMPLE: Food Services C-Schedule, $45,000 Yearly Salary (18 paychecks)
- Calculate Monthly Salary: $45,000 (Yearly) divided by 12 = $3,750 (Monthly)
- Calculate Units: $3,750 (Monthly) divided by 100 = 37.50 Units
- Calculate Premium Rate: 37.50 Units x $0.1067 = $4.00 twice-a-month.
