Other Financial Resources

The Composite Fringe Benefit (CBR) rate is an average of all eligible benefits applicable to an employee group. Each group is based on individual employee attributes which fall into a certain group. The composite fringe benefit rate is a percentage of the employee’s gross salary based on which employee group they fall into.

Our current practice assesses fringe benefits based on thousands of detailed rates, and with the adoption of CBRs, individual employee fringe benefits will be assessed using one of the nine possible rates. Composite Benefit rates decrease the administrative burden to budget and manage sponsored awards and decrease the risk of under-recovering funds.
