Step 2: Divide your annual salary by 12 to calculate your monthly earnings.
Step 3: Multiply rate (Step 1) by your monthly earnings (Step 2), or $8,333, whichever is less, for your monthly disability benefit.
Step 4: Divide (Step 3) by 100. The result is your Monthly cost.
Step 5: Multiply your Monthly cost (Step 4) by 12 for your annual cost.
Step 6: Divide your Annual cost (Step 5) by your pay frequency (20 or 26) to determine your bi-weekly payroll deduction amount.
