Max. salary, also called ceiling for PAX5 is $6740. Implication is - Once you reach this number and if you have not been promoted, you will not get any Merit Increment. But you will still get your performance bonus. You will remain at this salary forever, unless there is a change in the ceiling which is usually changed after Salary Reviews, done every 4 years or so.

$5740 is the BAR. You need to cross this number before you can be considered for promotion to the next PAX level, which is PAX4.
