Note 1

The annual statutory salaries are based on 2015/2016 salary scales in collective agreements. Salaries have been converted to US dollars using the 2015/2016 purchasing power parity (PPP) for private consumption for Canada from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) National Accounts database. Although this PPP takes into account differences in cost of living across countries, it was not possible to make a similar adjustment for provinces and territories.

Note 3

Weighted averages based on the number of full-time educators: younger than 30 (for "Starting salary/typical training"); aged 35 to 44 (for "Salary after 10 years of experience/typical training"); or aged 45 or older (for "Salary after 15 years of experience/typical training" and "Salary at the top of the scale/typical training"). The data reflects public institutions in submitting jurisdictions, as reported in the 2015/2016 Elementary-Secondary Education Survey (ESES). Yukon and Nunavut did not submit data and are not included in the Canadian average. The Northwest Territories are not included in the Canada average because the ESES does not report a breakdown by age for the number of full-time educators. The Northwest Territories is included in the average for "Years from starting to top salary".
