Fringe and vacation assessment rates for Harvard Fiscal Year 2014 (7/1/13-6/30/14) and the estimated rates for Fiscal Year 2015 (7/1/14-6/30/15) and Fiscal Year 2016 (7/1/15-6/30/16) are indicated on the FAS version of the Fringe Rate Chart (.pdf). More information about fringe benefits is also posted on the Office for Sponsored Projects website.

Please note:

  1. Fringe must be pro-rated across fiscal years in proposal budgets, and any budgets extending beyond 6/30/16 must use the FY 2016 rates. The Current Budget Template
    pro-rates automatically.
