You can scroll a few pages back for pay scale.

The 3 main performance grades one can get is A (one in a thousand), B (1 in 3), C (2 in 3; mostly everyone else). This is important because your performance grade determines your annual increment and your performance bonus.

For annual increments, it ranges from 3-5% depending on your performance grade. For promotion years, it reaches 9-10% - all inclusive.

For performance bonuses, it varies from substantive grade to grade. For example, B at MX12 might be 2 months, while B at MX 11 might be 2.5 months.
