(total life-time increased earnings‡)

Examples

Two static examples of life-time earnings increase with the Advanced Studies Certification (assuming a typical 30-year career and retirement of 25 years):

Teacher A Example
Teacher obtains the Advanced Studies Certification in 15th year of teaching.
$3000 x 15 years = $45,000 (increase in career earnings)
plus 75% of $3000 annually over 25 years of retirement = $56,250
Total life-time increased earnings‡: $45,000 + 56,250 = $101,250

Teacher B Example
Teacher obtains the Advanced Studies Certification in the 25th year of teaching.
$3000 x 5 years = $15,000 (increase in career earnings)
plus 75% of $3000 annually over 25 years of retirement = $56,250
Total life-time increased earnings‡: $15,000 + 56,250 = $71,250

‡Amount is an estimate based on the assumption that you will work a total of 30 years before retirement and survive 25 years after retiring. It does not include cost of living retirement increases.
