LTD: Non-Public Safety 60% Plan  $0.394
LTD: Public Safety 50% Plan $0.253

  • Determine monthly earnings, divide annual earnings by 12; $55,026/12 = $4,585.50
    Monthly earnings value per $100; $4,585/100 = $45.86
    Multiply by rate to determine monthly premium; $45.86 x 0.200 = $9.17
     

LTD Example #2

  • Public Safety 60%
  • Annual earnings: $75,000
  • Determine monthly earnings, divide annual earnings by 12; $123,948/12 = $6,250
    Monthly earnings value per $100; $6,250/100 = $62.50
    Multiply by rate to determine monthly premium; $62.50 x 0.498 = $31.13
