A full-time equivalent is a measure of employment, not a headcount: two half-time employees are one FTE. Personnel spending includes benefits and pension contributions, so per FTE it is not an average salary.
Transfer payment programs, 2020-21
The grants, contributions and other transfers Senate paid, program by program: $512K in all, against $512K for the transfer payments object above (the Public Accounts publish the two tables separately).
