Indirect Cost Rate:
(A)/(B) - 42.00% of Direct Salaries and Wages or
(A)/(C) - 32.70% of Total Direct Costs less Capital Expenditures and Subaward Costs

NOTE: Two indirect cost proposals should be provided. One should be based on actual cost data for the most current ended accounting period and should be submitted with the financial statements for that period. The total actual expenses as reported in the related financial statements should agree with the total cost column (1) in the indirect cost rate proposal. The second indirect cost proposal should be based on projected costs for the accounting period in which the proposed work will be performed. If this indirect cost rate varies significantly from the rate determined on actual expenses, footnote the indirect cost proposal to highlight cost areas which caused the variance and explain.
