Benefits are charged to sponsored accounts based on the actual rates in effect at the time salary is paid; actual rates may vary from these estimates. These rates are expected to change each November. Fringe Benefits include: FICA, Retirement, Life Insurance and Health Insurance.
CAUTION: These percentages are average estimates only. Employee benefits are charged to accounts at actual rates that will vary somewhat from these estimates. The estimated rates are designed to minimize the variances, which result from the rather wide range of salaries included under each of the salary groupings below. For example, family insurance coverage for a particular employee could result in larger fringe benefit expenses than these averages. PIs are advised to always consider this fact when developing proposal budgets and to budget for higher-than-average fringe benefits when conditions warrant.
