Sample Budget for School-Age Program1
BUDGET CATEGORY DEFINITIONS & INSTRUCTIONS

This sample budget represents 12 months of operation, which includes full-time
service during the summer (10 weeks) and part-time service during the school
year (42 weeks). These forms should only be used as guidelines as you develop
a budget for your school-age care program.

I.      BUDGET SUMMARY

        This form provides a summary of the program expenses by category
        (Program Expense column) and anticipated revenue for the budget
        period (Revenue Statement), providing a picture of a balanced budget.
        Numbers for each budget expense category are transferred from the
        Budget Narrative (see below) to the Budget Summary Form and Budget
        Narrative Form which follow.

II.     BUDGET NARRATIVE
        The purpose of the Budget Narrative is to provide adequate explanations,
        justifications and detail of program expenditures. This Sample Budget
        represents only the expenses assigned to a school-age care program (or
        cost center). When expenses are shared among program components in
        a multi-service organization, the school-age care program’s costs can be
        shown as a percentage of the total cost. This will provide a more accurate
        picture of the costs for just the school-age program. Below is an
        explanation of information included in each budget category of the Sample
        Budget.

A.      PERSONNEL
        This category lists administrative, child-care and other program staff. It
        indicates the position/title, and number of staff for each position/title, the
        percentage of time they will work or number of hours they will work per
        week, their annual salary or wages per hour, and the number of weeks
        they will be employed in the program. It should include calculations for
        determining amounts and separate costs of summer personnel from
        school term personnel.
                Example: Teacher - 35 hrs/wk x $10/hr x 42 weeks = $14,700

B.   FRINGE BENEFITS
     This category lists benefits and provides detail on how benefits are
     calculated. Social Security Insurance (F.I.C.A.), Unemployment
     Insurance, and Worker’s Compensation must be included as part of
     a benefit package. Other benefits may also apply. Fringe benefits
     are based on a certain percentage of employee salaries. This
     percentage may change from year to year. It is important to
     determine an accurate fringe benefit % when preparing a budget
     each year. Actual numbers from previous years will be helpful as
     well as current regulations applying to benefits.
     Example: Fringe = 18% of salaries & includes: F.I.C.A., Worker’s
     Compensation, State Unemployment Insurance (S.U.I.), and Health
     Insurance.

C.   CONSULTANTS
     This category lists legal and CPA’s (audits), as well as other
     consultants that receive a fee for service. Include type of service,
     daily or hourly fees and projected number of days or hours of

     category.

D.   SUPPLIES

     Recreational,   Classroom     or    other    Program    Supplies;
     Health/Medical Supplies; Cleaning Supplies; Food (including
     snacks) as well as other consumable supplies. Show how each
     amount was calculated. In the sample budget, supplies include any
     single non consumable item costing less than $500.
     Examples:
     Arts & Crafts Supplies - 10 children x $30/mo x 12 mos = $3,600
     2 storage cabinets - 2 cabinets x $250/each = $500

E.   EQUIPMENT
     This category lists equipment to be purchased and estimated cost
     for each item; equipment rental and the estimated cost of rent for
     each item; and the estimated cost of maintenance and repair of
     equipment. Separate Office Equipment from Program Equipment.
     List freight expenses separately and include the formula used for
     arriving at the amount for freight. In the sample budget, equipment
     is any single non consumable item costing $500 or more.




                                                                        2
F.   TRAVEL
     This category itemizes expenses related to staff travel and
     children’s field trips and provides calculations for projected travel

     type of training.

     the program. Indicate how you arrived at the amount for each item

I.   PRINTING/REPRODUCTION
     This category itemizes expenses related to the printing or
     reproduction of materials. Indicate how you arrived at the amount

     required to operate the program (i.e. liability insurance, accident
     insurance, etc.). List types of insurance and estimated costs for the

     Example: Phone $75/mo x 12 mos = $900



                                                                           3

               Example: Postage - $15/mo x 12 mos = $180

       M.      OTHER
               Under this category, itemize expenses not reflected in other
               categories. Indicate how you arrived at the amount for each item
