Does anybody know what the hourly rate is for a secondary teacher (not as a supply teacher however) on M3?

Can we have a calcultor that calculates our lump suma and monthly pension payment at our desired retirement age?

does a masters qualification add anything to your salary?

I have a masters in my field and so does a friend of mine. Neither of us got higher than M1 as an NQT (we teach in different counties). When I questioned this, they said it was one of the reasons I got the job, but doesn't mean I get a higher salary. Might depend on the school though, and not sure if doing a masters mid-way through teaching will alter it. Hope this helps in some way!

In most schools I suspect that this is now seen as professional development and therefore an integral part of being a teacher. You may get lucky and be in a school which will offer an enhancement (possibly based on being in an area of shortage or priority for the school) but it is likely that you will get no financial recognition for your efforts.
