FRINGE BENEFITS (OPE) RATES

Estimated Fringe Benefit Calculation

This look-up table was developed in order to provide an easy method for calculating fringe benefits. The percentages reflect the estimated current year benefits. Allow reasonable percent increases in fringe benefits for future years.

To use: Use the fringe benefit rate for the salary specified in the table (i.e., a person whose total monthly salary from all sources is $2,600 would use the fringe benefit rate of 67% for the first year of a proposal with a start date within FY 07-08.)

The rates below should be utilized for classified and unclassified positions where effort is .5 FTE or greater. Utilize the Exceptions to the Fringe Benefit Rates below, as appropriate, for positions that are less than .5 FTE.

Total Monthly Salary from all Accounts	Total Annual Salary from all Accounts	**FY 07-08 Fringe Benefit Rate

Notes

1. Disclaimer: The 25% rate applies only to those employees who are triple charged during the academic year so your medical benefits are covered in the summer. If you are not triple charged in the academic year, then you would use your regular academic fringe rate. Check with your department accountant if you are unsure whether you are tripled charged in the academic year.
2. Employees not eligible for PERS have a rate of 10%.
3. For fringe rates for Federal appointments see Budget Office table located at http://oregonstate.edu/dept/budgets/budghand/tables.htm.
4. Graduate Assistant health insurance is estimated at $485 per term for academic year 2007-2008 and summer term. Average annual increases in health insurance are estimated at 11% and increases for out-years should be budgeted. For more information on Graduate Assistant health insurance see the Student Health Services web site located at http://studenthealth.oregonstate.edu/insurance/
5. Students are charged $3.12 per month unless they are taking less than 6 credits (undergraduate) or 5 credits (graduate), then they are charged FICA and Medicare.

Actual Fringe Benefit Calculation

Proposal budgets may also be calculated using actual fringe benefit rates. If the actual benefit rates are used, allow some inflation for future year increases (future year increases allow for the possibility of a rate change or the change of an employee). If actual fringe benefit rates are used your proposal budget should so indicate, otherwise, budgets are checked using the rate table percentages and a lower rate would prompt a call to you for clarification. The Budget office has current benefit rates located at http://oregonstate.edu/dept/budgets/budghand/tables.htm
