Fringe Benefits Rates:

If you are budgeting employee salaries to be paid from a sponsored project (grant), you must also budget a proportionate amount for fringe benefits. You may estimate these charges by applying the following percentages to the amount of salary budgeted. Due to the increasing costs of employer paid benefits, the recommended fringe benefit rates have recently changed. To calculate the exact percentage/amount of fringe benefits needed for an NDPERS or TIAA-CREF position, please use the EXCEL spreadsheets located on NDSU's Human Resources forms page.
