Step 1 – Calculate difference between current growth and average growth for the prior six years
Current growth = 5.92307%Prior 6-yr avg. = 5.61722%Difference 0.30585%
Step 2–Take one-half the difference0.5 x 0.30585% = 0.15292%
Step 3–Multiply total individual, corporate, and sales taxes by the result of Step 2
$13,941.6 x .00153 = $21.3
Minimum Appropriation = $21.3 million (FY 2009)
Step 4–Calculate average total collections for individual, corporate, and sales taxes for the last three years (FY 2005, FY 2006, and FY 2007)
($12,036.7 + $13,162.0 + $13,941.6)/3 = $13,046.8
