To budget your salary in an SBIR grant, find your hourly rate on Bureau of Labor Statistics data sheets, then multiply it by your total hours and level of effort. That number is what you can claim as a salary expense in your proposal.
Calculate your salary based on the total effort that you plan to pursue in your SBIR grant and use that rate you found on the BSL data sheets. To do so is your hourly rate times the actual time and level effort required you propose to pursue in your SBIR grant.
