Cost share calculator

Turn a match requirement into the dollar figure you actually have to find.

A 25% match and a 1:4 match are different arithmetic against the same project, and a notice will use either wording. This asks which one you are reading rather than guessing.

Enter a project cost and a rate to see the split.

How to use it

  1. Enter the project cost. The total cost of the work, not the amount you are requesting.
  2. State the requirement as the notice does. A percentage of total project cost, or a ratio of applicant dollars to award dollars. The two give different answers and the tool shows which it used.
  3. Split cash from in-kind. If the notice caps how much of the match may be in-kind, enter that share to see the cash you still have to raise.
