Proposal Fringe Benefit Rates

(Printer Friendly Version)

These rates are an ESTIMATE of the actual costs that might be charged, based on an average of UA's actual cost experience. ACTUAL fringe charges will be based on an individual's elections and may, therefore, vary significantly from the estimate used in the proposed budget. UA is responsible for reasonably estimating costs while not knowing for certain what an individual's fringe benefits will really cost in the future. The following fringe rates are used to accomplish this objective:

Fringe Benefit Rates and Calculations

Faculty & Regular Full Time Exempt Staff: 28.41%
Salary x 28.41%
Example: $20,000 x .2841 = $5682

Regular Full Time Nonexempt Staff: 36.61%
Salary x 36.61%
Example: $20,000 x .3661 = $7322

Part-Time Staff (Exempt and Nonexempt): 35.83%
Salary x 35.83%
Example: $5,000 x .3583 = $1791.50

Post Doctoral Fellows: 17.38%
Salary x 17.38%
Example: $5,000 x .1738 = $869

Temporary Employees: 7.80%
Salary x 7.80%
Example: $5,000 x .0780 = $390

Graduate Students: 7.70% of summer earnings* plus $1,394 per year ($116.17 per month) for health insurance.
Summer Salary x 7.70% + insurance
Example: $2500 x .0770 =$192.50
If the student is working for three months, the insurance would be calculated per month (3 x 116.17).
Total amount: $192.50 + 348.51 = $541.01

* FICA (7.70%) is calculated on summer earnings unless the student is enrolled in summer school.
