Mid-Year Budget Projections
Due in Mid-January – here’s why we do them:CCRI is required to submit a mid-year review of its budget to the Office of Higher Education (OHE) for review and approval. Mid-year review is an update on all sources of funds, not just state funds and tuition and fees. Opportunity to identify changes occurring since the beginning of the year & identify problems that may exist that require action.Need to know how much you think you’ll spend
by the fiscal year end (June 30th)4
Who “Owns” the Budget Projection?The ultimate responsibility of
creating a budget projection lies with the Grant Director◦Although the Controller’s Office &
Institutional Advancement are happy to help, the grant director is the only person who can fully create a budget projection
◦Administrative personnel do not know the intricacies of the grant E.g. – staff departures, planned operational
spending 5
BUDGET PROJECTION CREATIONCreate the “Base” Projection file
◦Open Banner; Open FRIGITD; Input Fund#
◦Next block (this may take a while to load)
6
◦Once data populates go to Help, select Extract Data No Key
◦ Hold Ctrl key!◦ This exports to
Excel
BUDGET PROJECTION ~ BASE FILE The exported file will need titles & formatting
◦ Add four lines at the top; Insert Grant Name & Fund #
◦ Add titles on columns listed below◦ Add two new columns: Projected Exps. & Projected
Balance
7
Format columns D thru I with “comma style”
Adjust the column widths of columns B thru I
8
BUDGET PROJECTION ~ BASE FILE
BUDGET PROJECTION ~ BASE FILE - continuedCreate a formula for the Projected Balance
◦ This is the Current Available Balance MINUS Projected Expenses
In the Proj. Bal. (column I), you type in:=G5-H5◦ Copy this formula down for all of the lines (drag right
corner)
9
Enter a SUM formula at the bottom of all columns
10
BUDGET PROJECTION ~ BASE FILE - continued
Use “AutoSum” in the top right corner of excel
Put cursor in cell below the column you want to sum. Click AutoSumCopy for all columns
Obtain Personnel Projection DataIn Banner, determine the last pay
period posted to Banner for biweekly & lecturers (monthly)◦In FRIGITD or FGIBDST, drill down the
Payroll lines & take note of the Payroll # in description
◦Click inside the Activity column for the payroll line
11
Obtain Personnel Projection Data
…continuedWith the cursor inside the Activity column for the payroll line, go up to Options
Select Grant Detail Info if in FRIGITD
Select Transaction Detail Info if in FGIBDST
12
The most recent payroll is usually on top. Below is BW24
BW Pay Period 24 was paid 11/23/2012
Obtain Personnel Projection DataBiweekly Employees
In Banner, go to NHIDIST & query the last paid payrolls posted in Banner (BW24 in example)◦ This screen shows payrolls by the date they
were paid. Go to HR site for date listing1
◦ Enter in the pay date of the last pay period posted in Banner, enter Fund #, then Next Block, Execute Query
13
After the data populates, you can either query within the NHIDIST screen, or export to excel. To export, go to Help, then select Extract Data No Key (Hold Ctrl key!)
If exporting, then add titles as shown belowAFTER titles are added, adjust column widths
& then delete columns: Z, Q – T, I - L
14
Obtain Personnel Projection DataBiweekly Employees
On the personnel data, sum the total for each account number◦ Can use the “Subtotal” function in excel for faster
results◦ Highlight the entire data field◦ On the Excel “Data” tab at the top, click “Subtotal”
15
Obtain Personnel Projection DataBiweekly Employees
After clicking the Subtotal icon:
16
Select: Acct; Sum;
Check: Dollars;
Uncheck: Replace current subtotals

Acct totals to use in projection column
Go into Banner, NHIDIST screen again, and look up the “monthly” employees
Enter a wide date range to ensure you are capturing all employees
Enter the grant’s Fund #, then click Next Block
18
Obtain Personnel Projection DataMonthly Employees
In the lower section, scroll to the right and enter MN in the field to the right of Payroll Event
Click Execute Query

Monthly Personnel Data
Shows monthly employees. Use this data to verify employee pay rates, calculate average hrs/mo. worked, & ensure all are included in projection.Can export info to excel – Help dropdown, Extract Data No Key (hold ctrl key)
Input Personnel Data in Projection
Biweekly ProjectionDetermine # of pay periods between the last payroll posted to Banner & 6/30 (or desired date)◦ Use HR Pay Schedule to count # of Pay Periods
between the last payroll per. posted to Banner & 6/30
= 16 Pay Periods (BW24 to BW14)In Budget Projection Base file, enter formula
for each biweekly account line based upon the Subtotaled Payroll file◦ For account 611040, the formula would be
=705.60*16◦ For account 612033, the formula would be
=3412.58*16 Do this for all biweekly account lines 21
Dollars per Pay PeriodTIMES# Pay
Per’s to June 30th
Determine # of REMAINING monthly payroll periods◦The # in the MN payroll is the month it is
paid. Monthly employees are paid the month AFTER they work, so MN11 is for October
◦Last monthly payroll was MN11 (October) – so 8 months to get to 6/30
The monthly employees formula will be somewhat different than for biweekly people
Determine the # hours each monthly employee will work (best to use average estimate), multiply by pay rate, then multiply by remaining months
22
Input Personnel Data in ProjectionMonthly Projection
The # in MN
payroll is the
month it is paid
Monthly employee formula (do for each employee)
In our example, assume Natalie Wood works an average of 70 hrs/mo, her pay rate is $20/hr (8 mo’s left)◦ Formula will read =70*20*8 for Natalie
Van Morrison & Charlie Brown also work on that line, too, so we’ll have to include them in the formula, too◦ Assume Van works 60 hrs/mo @ $20/hr, ◦ Charlie 15 hr/mo @ 15.54/hr
Overall formula will read =70*20*8+60*20*8+15*15.54*823
Input Personnel Data in ProjectionMonthly Projection…continued
Avg hrs/mo X Hourly Pay Rate X # months to Year End
Most Monthly employees only have FICA as fringe on their pay (FICA Lecturer – 644020)◦ Create a formula based off the monthly
employee salary line(s). FICA is always 7.65%.
24
In this case, the formula will be =H7*7.65%
With this method, FICA will update if you change the employee pay projection
FICA = 7.65%

Incorporate Operating ExpensesThis part is for the Grant
Director!Go through the various Operating
Expense lines (i.e. Office Exp, Mileage) and put in your estimates of what you think you’ll spend by 6/30◦It can be helpful to jot down planned
trips, classes, etc. Enter the dollars you think you’ll spend in
the projected column – do not enter anything in the Indirect line yet!
25
Indirect Cost ExpenseThis can be tough to calculate, so don’t
hesitate to ask for help on this one!The most accurate way to do this line is via
formula (sorry)◦ If done via formula, it will automatically update
as you make changesYour formula will be the sum of all expenses
applicable to indirect multiplied by your indirect rate (or indirect rate + audit)◦ See next slide for example formula details
If the formula is giving you trouble, then once you feel you have all expenses estimated, then multiply the total projected expenses by your indirect rate
26
Help!
Indirect Rate formula
27
If the Indirect Cost line isn’t the last line, then cut & paste to be the last line – you will probably need to fix your totals at the bottom
Assuming an 8% rate applied to all expenses, the formula will read:
=SUM(H5:H31)*8%
Indirect = Cost Base
XIndirect
Rate
Let the Budget Games Begin!After incorporating all necessary
expenditures, take a look at your Projected Balance column◦If there are negatives, you’ll need to
create a budget modification to cover those negatives
You may notice that you have more money to spend!
28
Adjust dollars where necessary & ensure you have enough for the full grant term
Summary of Projection StepsExport current budget detail from FRIGITD to excel to create projection base file◦Add titles to columns & create Projection columns

Export most recently paid biweekly payroll◦Subtotal the expenses by account number
Determine monthly employee’s rates & average hours
Input payroll formulas into projected columnInput projected operating expenses to year
endInput Indirect Rate formula (if applicable)Adjust lines as necessary
