Rate Cards and Contract Pricing

A rate card maps a role to an hourly rate. DigitalCore uses it to turn capacity hours into labour cost.

Where rates come from

When labour cost is calculated, DigitalCore looks up the rate in this order:

1. Contract override for the engagement (most specific).
2. Contract default rate.
3. Organisation rate card marked as default.
4. Any other matching rate card.

The first match wins.

Create a rate card

1. Go to Configure, then Rate Cards.
2. Click New Rate Card.
3. Add roles and hourly rates.
4. Mark one card as default.

Override on a contract

1. Open a contract.
2. Go to Rates.
3. Override any role for this contract or this engagement.

When you change a rate

New labour costs use the new rate going forward. Past months are not recalculated unless you ask DigitalCore to backfill from a chosen date.

Tips

• Keep one default card current and accurate.
• Use contract overrides for client-specific pricing.
• Use engagement overrides only for short-term arrangements.
