FAM Pay Proposal Calculators

Use these calculators to get an estimation of how each compensation proposal would impact your paycheck! The tables under each tab show the latest proposals that have crossed the negotiating table.

Do you deserve the FAM raise? And can Miami afford it?

FAM’s pay proposal was developed and costed out by a team including tenured professors in Finance, Economics, and Mathematics alongside a former chair of the Senate Faculty Welfare Committee. It is informed by research into contracts in Ohio and across the country, legal advice, and expert guidance from from national negotiators from AFT and AAUP with decades of experience.

Faculty have endured inflation of 23% over the last five years and have been undercompensated for many more. Miami can and should pay you fairly!

Notes (please read): These are estimates based on initial proposals and are subject to change over the course of bargaining. • The current calculator is missing proposed salary floors and promotions to full professor as our software lacks advanced if/then programming. • Librarians are 12-month employees and faculty have 9-month contracts. • You can enter any pay into the calculator, but check your email for your most recent appointment letter as they were not posted to Banner this year.
