Fringe Rates
Fringe Benefits Rates
Fringe Benefits Rates are negotiated as a pool along with F&A Rates and must be calculated for all salaries included in the proposal budget. The Fringe Rates can be viewed on the Comptroller's site.
Facilities & Administrative Costs (F&A) are included in all grant proposal budgets unless an official F&A waiver has been obtained or not allowed by the sponsor.
F&A is calculated on Modified Total Direct Cost (MTDC), which excludes Equipment, Rental Costs of Off-Site Facilities, Tuition Remission, and Subcontract costs in excess of $50,000 each. Full F&A rates are applied to MTDC unless the F&A recovery is limited by sponsor policy. If the sponsor limits F&A recovery to a certain percentage, then the sponsor-mandated F&A rate is applied to the Total Direct Costs (TDC).
