What is an Indirect Cost Rate?
• A ratio representing the proportion of district expenditures used for “overhead” as opposed to direct costs of programs.

How is an indirect cost rate used?
• Adjusting grant revenue to include indirect costs.
• $100,000 grant with 5% rate.
• Program costs: $95,238
• $95,238 x 5% = $4,762
• $95,238 + $4762 = $100,000

What should the district do?
First Step: Reconcile the R0418 to your expenditure trial balance/FID
submission.Note: R0418 Total Expense column does not
include any function codes 49x and later
Or to look at it another way:
R0418 Total Expense column only includes function codes 1xx through 45x
