MTDC Calculation Table.xlsx

This is a Modified Total Direct Costs (MTDC) calculation table for XYZ Organization in support of the Department of State's "Documenting Violence Against Women and Children" grant opportunity under the International Programs to Support Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (CFDA 19.345) program.

The budget totals $830,000 in direct costs across seven categories: personnel ($100,000), fringe benefits ($50,000), travel ($55,000), equipment ($15,000), supplies ($6,000), contractual subawards ($509,000 distributed across four subawards ranging from $39,000 to $200,000), and other direct costs ($95,000 including venue and childcare support). The calculation applies $408,000 in exemptions, consisting primarily of participant support costs ($73,000) and the portion of subawards exceeding $50,000 each ($320,000), resulting in a Modified Total Direct Costs base of $422,000. Using a NICRA/15% de minimis indirect cost rate, the organization's indirect costs are calculated at $63,300. This budget structure reflects compliance with federal cost accounting standards for grants administered by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, which supports data collection and research on sexual violence globally with recent awards ranging from $500,000 to $2 million for individual projects.
