Sample Calculation on 2023 Single Spine Salary Structure Increment
23% Increment, January 2024 – June 2024
For instance, if you are giving 23% and your base pay (single spine monthly salary) is ¢3,100.34
Your new base pay will be ¢3,100.34 plus 23% = ¢3,100.34 + 713.0782= ¢3813.42
Gross pay = base pay+ retention premium.
But, retention premium will be = 15% of the new base pay (¢3813.42).
Retention premium= ¢3813.42×15% = ¢572.013
Hence, New Gross pay = New base pay + new retention premium= ¢3813.42+ 572.013 = ¢4385.433
Therefore, your new gloss pay will be 4385.433 effectively January 2024.
25% from July 2024 – December 2024

Your new base pay will be ¢4385.433 plus 25% = ¢4385.433+ 87.70 = ₵4,473.133

But, retention premium will be = 15% of the new base pay (¢4,473.133).
Retention premium= ¢4,473.133×15% = ¢670.97
