To Find an Annual Salary Rate (ASR) and FTE from Credit Hour Cost
Option 1:
Amount per credit hour x 45 (full time credit hour basis) = ASR
Example: $833 x 45 = $37,485 ASR
or
ASR ÷ 45 = amount per credit hour
Example: $37,485 ÷ 45 = $833

Option 2:
To Find the FTE from a Dollar Amount and Established Annual Salary Rate
If you have an employee who is paid on a per credit basis and has negotiated an additional amount to be included in the total
contract amount, please write additional wages into the letter of offer and calculate it as follows:
Calculation for Single Term
Step 1 Annual Salary Rate ÷ 3 Terms = 1 Term Salary Rate
Step 2 Contract Dollar Amount ÷ 1 Term Salary Rate = FTE for Term
Example: $37,485 ÷ 3 = $12,495
$5,000 ÷ $12,495 = .40 FTE
Calculation for Full Year
Contract Dollar Amount ÷ Annual Salary Rate = Annual FTE
Example: $5,000÷ $37,485 ASR = .133 FTE
Example of wording for additional wages: ...For this appointment, your FTE is [FTE]; your rate of pay is [per credit hour] per
credit hour times [credit hours] credit hours, which equals [pay], plus an additional amount of [additional $] for [additional
duties] totaling [total contract $] for the contract period.
