Step | Action | Rate ($ pf) |
---|---|---|
1 |
Determine the MBR, without add-ons, using Module C RESULT: MAXIMUM BASIC RATE |
712.30 |
2 |
Determine the amount of PhA using Module E RESULT |
3.40 |
3 |
Determine the amount of ES using Module DB RESULT |
7.90 |
4 |
Determine the maximum payment rate by adding together the previous 3 amounts
RESULT: MAXIMUM PAYMENT RATE |
723.60 |
5 |
Determine the amount of income for the personal income test.
|
1,078.50 |
6 |
Determine the amount of income reduction:
RESULT: INCOME REDUCTION |
53.00
493.50
546.50 |
7 |
Subtract income reduction from maximum payment rate:
RESULT: TOTAL RATE PAYABLE |
723.60 546.50 177.10 |
8 |
If the TOTAL RATE PAYABLE in Step 7 is greater than $0 but less than the maximum rate of PhA ($3.40), then only the PhA rate of $3.40 is payable. |
