$400,000 x 17/183 = $37,158

$400,000 x 34/183 = $74,317

Ethier signed a five-year extension on June 12, 2012 worth a guaranteed $85 million. The deal also has a vesting option for a sixth season, based on plate appearances in 2017 or 2016-2017, that could bring the total value of the deal to $100 million. The payout:

2014: $15.5 million
2015: $18 million
2016: $18 million
2017: $17.5 million
2018: $17.5 million club option (or $2.5 million buyout)
The 2018 option vests if Ethier has 550 plate appearances in 2017, or 1,100 plate appearances in 2017-18.
2012: signed a one-year deal worth $10.95 million on January 17, 2012, plus incentives, avoiding salary arbitration. Ethier can earn up to $50,000 in performance bonuses based on plate appearances:
$25,000 for 600 PA - earned October 1
$25,000 for 625 PA
Ethier signed a two-year deal on January 19, 2010, avoiding salary arbitration. The deal was worth a total of $15.25 million:

In addition, Ethier can earn up to $375,000 in incentives in 2010-2011:
Annually (2010-2011)
$25,000 for 600 PA
$50,000 for 650 PA
$50,000 for 675 PA
Achieving those incentives in 2010 (he didn't) would have also added those amounts to Ethier's 2011 base salary. Ethier didn't earn any bonuses in 2010 or 2011.
2009: Avoided arbitration with a one-year deal on Feb. 17, 2009 worth $3.1 million, plus potential for $100,000 in incentives:

$25,000 for 625 PA -- achieved September 15 (PA #625 was his sixth walk-off!)
$50,000 for 650 PA -- achieved September 23
Tim Federowicz
The catcher was traded to the Padres as part of a five-player deal on Dec. 12, 2014.
***
2014: I don't have the exact salary for Federowicz, but am estimating $513,000.
Federowicz was recalled to the Dodgers on April 8, and was optioned to Triple-A on April 30, earning 22 days of service time.
$513,000 x 22/183 = $61,672
Federowicz was recalled to the Dodgers on May 26, and was optioned to Triple-A on June 13, earning 17 days of service time.
$513,000 x 17/183 = $47,656
Federowicz was recalled on Sep. 1, with 28 days left in the regular season.
$513,000 x 28/183 = $78,492
Stephen Fife
2014: I don't have the exact salary for Fife, but am estimating $508,000.
Fife was recalled to the Dodgers for a spot start on May 4, and was optioned to Triple-A on May 5, earning one day of service time.
$508,000 x 1/183 = $2,776
Fife, out for the season after Tommy John surgery, was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sep. 16 and simultaneously placed on the 60-day disabled list, opening up a spot on the 40-man roster for Daniel Coulombe, meaning Fife gets major league service time and pay for the final 13 days of the regular season.
$508,000 x 13/183 = $36,087
Fife was outrighted to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Oct. 13, 2014, and became a minor league free agent on Nov. 3, 2014.
Chone Figgins
Figgins signed a minor league contract with a non-roster invitation to spring training on Jan. 22, 2014. He made the team out of spring training, and had his contract purchased on March 16.
2014: $900,000
Figgins' salary if in the minors is $120,000.
Figgins was optioned to Triple-A on April 21, and returned to the Dodgers on May 2. For those 11 days Figgins earned his minor league rate rather than the major league rate.
[$900,000 - $120,000] x 11/183 = $46,885

$3 million signing bonus
2014: $4 million

The 2016 option converts to a player option if Howell pitches in 65 games in 2015 or 120 games in 2014-2015 combined, and if he doesn't end the 2015 season on the disabled list.
Howell pitched in 68 games in 2014, so he needs 52 appearances in 2015 for the 2016 option to convert to a player option.
If Howell's 2016 option doesn't vest, but the Dodgers decide to exercise it, Howell can decline the option but wouldn't get the $250,000 buyout.
Howell can also earn performance bonuses in each year of the deal.
