10% De Minimis Indirect Cost Calculator

The unrestricted indirect cost rate is used for Child Nutrition Programs as reimbursements are meant to supplant, not supplement program costs. In accordance with 2 CFR 400.14 (f), entities that do not have a negotiated unrestricted indirect cost rate can elect to charge a de minims rate of 10% of the modified total direct costs (MTDC) base.

SED's Grants Finance office notifies public SFAs and BOCES of their non-restricted indirect cost rate annually; the 10% De Minimis Indirect Cost Calculator is not applicable.

SED does not have a negotiated unrestricted indirect cost rate for non-public SFAs and Charter schools; therefore, in accordance with 2 CFR 200.414 (f), these entities can elect to charge a de minimis rate of 10% of modified total direct costs (MTDC). If indirect costs are charged to the non-profit food service account, the amount must be reported. A link to the 10% De Minimis Indirect Cost Calculator, is included in the Cash Analysis Report on CNMS.

If your SFA charges indirect cost using the 10% De Minimis, you must submit the 10% De Minimis Indirect Cost Calculator
