Wayne In addition to these general raises, most teachers who are net at the top of the salary scale also receive an annual experience increment averaging $339. Thus, the total average increase for teachers who have not reached the top step amounted this year. to $1,115, or 13.25 The average beginning salary paid to a teacher with a bachelors degree in Utah this year is $7,253, with a maximum of $10,888 reached after eleven years of service. Additional amounts are provided for teachers with added academic training.
