Workforce Budgeting

One position. Three useful amounts.

PC-204 · Finance Analyst II · October 1, 2026

1.0 approved FTE0.8 assigned FTE0.2 vacant FTE
Approved budget
$70,000USD / year1.0 approved FTE × $70,000
Staffed budget
$56,000USD / year0.8 assigned FTE × $70,000
Calculated compensation
$48,000USD / year0.8 assigned FTE × $60,000 salary

$14,000 supports vacant capacity. It remains part of the approved budget.

$8,000 separates staffed budget and compensation. The position budget rate and employee salary are different.

Example: annualized amounts with complete inputs and no adjustments. Compensation is calculated from recorded pay and assignments, not payroll payments.
