The current NIH salary cap is $191,300. Salary requested is calculated by multiplying percent (%) effort by the annualized salary or the mandated salary cap, whichever is less. Fringe benefits, however, are calculated using the rate corresponding to the actual annualized salary base multiplied by the amount of salary requested.

For example, a Principal Investigator requesting NIH support for 10% effort with an annualized base salary of $250,000 would populate the budget information as follows:

Name	Role on Project	Type of Appt.	% Effort	Annual Base Salary	Salary Requested	Fringe Benefits	Total
John Doe	Principal Investigator	12	10	$250,000	$19,130	$2,728	$21,858
