When budgeting for an FY appointment, PIs/PDs should base the calculation on the employee’s full 12 month salary rate. (FY appointees are commonly PAT or OS staff, but may include some faculty.) For projects beginning in the current UNH FY, calculate the current salary for FY AAUP faculty (see a. [previous screen]) or use a current salary (PAT or Postdoc) or hourly rate or converted salary (OS or student labor). Then, inflate the salary for each future year of the project, using OSR’s published inflation rates as appropriate by employee category.

For projects beginning in a subsequent FY, augment the current salary by an inflation factor for all future years. When using the electronic Proposal Budget Tool, note that the first-year salary will be inflated automatically based on any inflation factor identified in the set up in the Tool macro. (Refer to OSR’s Website for inflation factors.)
