# Member Cost Rates

How to assign, edit, delete a Member Cost Rate?

Setting **Rates** for each **Member** establishes default **Bill** and **Cost Rate** values, which apply when creating workloads for **Projects** using **Member Rates**. This ensures that each **Member** has a predefined **Rate** for billing and cost tracking purposes.

## Where is the Member Cost Rate Used?

Member Cost Rates are used by Projects and Phases for budgeting purposes. These rates are subject to Project- and Phase-level overrides.

## Set Member Standard Cost Rate

1.  Go to **Organization Settings**.

2.  Click the **Members** item on the left-hand side menu, then click the **Rate** tab.

5.  A calculator tool will open, allowing the **Cost Rate** for the **Member** to be set by entering a value in the **Enter Total Hourly Cost** field.
    
    Values can be entered in the **Yearly Pay** and **Hours/Year** text boxes to calculate the **Rate**. However, the calculator serves only as a tool and does not automatically populate the **Enter Total Hourly Cost** field. After performing the calculation, the resulting value must be manually entered into the **Enter Total Hourly Cost** field.
    
    The **Cost Rate Currency** will be in the **Default Currency** of the organization.

## Modify Member Cost Rate Date

By default, a **Cost Rate** becomes effective on the day it is added. If the **Rate** needs to take effect on a different date, its effective dates can be adjusted accordingly.

1.  In **Organization Settings > Members > Rates**, click on the Rate of the Member under the **Cost Rate/Hr** column.

2.  A list of the Member's Cost Rates and their effective dates will show. Click the Start Date of the Rate. Select a new **Start Date** for the **Cost Rate**, then click the **Done** button on the date picker. If the **Member** has multiple **Cost Rates**, the same process can be followed to adjust the **End Date** as needed.

4.  The **Cost Rate** will be deleted.
    
    If a **Member** has multiple **Cost Rates**, deleting a **Cost Rate** that falls between two others will not affect the **End Date** of the previous **Cost Rate**. Instead, the **Start Date** of the following **Cost Rate** will adjust to fill the gap.
