 ESTIMATED FRINGE BENEFIT RATES FOR GRANT BUDGETING - EFFECTIVE 10/01/18


Fringe benefits are charged based on the actual cost of each fringe (e.g. health insurance, life insurance, etc). The University establishes estimating fringe rates for various categories of employees. Actual fringe benefits are calculated as a percentage of the total salary for each individual employee. The estimated fringe rates are intended to provide adequate funding to cover the actual fringe benefit costs that will be charged to sponsors.
