Billable Rates

Adjust Project-Level Budget

The non-adjusted budget figure is based on standard rates.  There are two ways to adjust the project budget:

1. Use a fixed cost as your target amount, or apply a fixed percent -- discount or premium rate -- to achieve a target blended rate
2. Adjust the standard rate or apply a fixed percent (discount or premium rate) to individual resources (bottom screenshot)
