FAQ: The amounts for the benefits in the Benefit Totals table change after completing the Calculate Budget option. Why?

The amounts for the benefits in the Benefit Totals table change after completing the Calculate Budget option. Why?

During the Calculate Budget option, the system calculates each pay period individually so the amounts may be slightly different (usually within a couple of dollars or less) due to rounding. Whichever is calculated last (the Benefit Totals table or the Calculate Budget option) is what is reflected on the Benefit Totals table and in the Employee Negotiation Rates option.

Note: When the Benefit Totals table is calculated, the system multiplies the total salaries rather than the individual pay period amounts by the taxes and deductions that use a percentage (i.e. FIT and Retirement).
