# Default Phase Rates

Default setting for using the phase-specific rate or project rate

The Default Phase Rates setting allows rates to be applied across Phases in a Project. This setting enables the choice between using the phase-specific rate or the overall project rate, ensuring consistency in budgeting and financial tracking throughout the project. By defining a default rate, the financial framework for each phase is streamlined, aligning with either individual phase needs or the broader project budget.

To modify this setting, click the field to select **Project Rate** or **Phase Rate** to establish a default setting for the organization.

This setting can also be adjusted within individual projects under [Manage Time Settings > Independent Phase Rate](https://support.mosaicapp.com/en/articles/415-independent-phase-rates.md).

> **Info:** When the default setting is set to Phase Rate, it indicates that Independent Phase Rates are enabled, and vice versa.
