Final Fiscal Year 2027 Benefit Rates Available

The final FY 2027 Fringe Benefit Rates are available in SAGE, as well as in the UW Office of Research Fringe Benefit Rate table in the preliminary rates column. The final FY 2027 rates will be moved to the 鈥渃urrent rate鈥� column as of July 1st.

Use these updated rates on multi-year sponsored program proposal budgets to best reflect anticipated costs for FY27 and beyond.

If you submitted a proposal using the previously published (preliminary) rates for budget years beyond FY27, upon award, you may re-budget as necessary to account for these changes. In most cases, this will not require sponsor approval.

Apply updated benefit rates to a SAGE Budget in progress:

  1. Go to the Budget Settings on the left navigation, and expand the Data & Calculations section.
    • Before 7/01/2026, select Preliminary.
    • After 7/01/2026, select Current.
  2. Then select Refresh Benefit Rates to apply these rates to your budget.

Budget Settings navigation in SAGE displays Data & Calculations section expanded with radio buttons for Preliminary or Current and shows the link to Refresh Benefit Rates
