Key Features
Indirect-cost pools
Indirect-cost pools — group indirect labor, fringe, facilities, depreciation, utilities, supplies and admin costs into pools with itemized cost lines and a live actual-overhead total.
Cost drivers
Cost drivers — define allocation bases (direct labor hours, machine hours, direct labor cost, square footage, units, headcount) once and reuse them.
Predetermined overhead rate
Predetermined overhead rate — compute POHR = estimated overhead / estimated base quantity, apply it to actual activity, and get automatic over-/under-applied overhead with a plain-English variance explanation.
Driver-based proportional allocation
Driver-based proportional allocation — spread a pool's actual cost across jobs / cost objects strictly in proportion to each object's driver quantity, penny-accurate with rounding absorbed on the largest object.
Fully-burdened job cost
Fully-burdened job cost — every cost object shows direct cost + allocated overhead so you can see true job profitability.
Allocation runs
Allocation runs — each allocation is snapshotted as an immutable run with its rate, base and lines for audit trail and period comparison.
NICRA indirect-cost worksheet
NICRA indirect-cost worksheet — build the direct cost base (MTDC, Total Direct Cost, Salaries & Wages, or Salaries & Fringe), apply Uniform Guidance exclusions (capital equipment, participant support, the portion of each subaward above $50,000 under 2 CFR 200.1 as revised in 2024, or $25,000 for earlier awards, rent, tuition), and derive the indirect cost rate automatically.
De minimis rate
De minimis rate — one click applies the 15% de minimis indirect rate on MTDC for entities without a negotiated agreement.
Recovery projection
Recovery projection — compute recoverable indirect dollars for any grant budget from the negotiated or de minimis rate.
Role-based security
Role-based security — Cost Allocation User and Manager groups gate who can post and close allocation runs.
