Classify grant costs and calculate deadlines — each with its clause citation
Look up whether a cost category is allowable or unallowable under 2 CFR 200, calculate report deadlines, and see the regulation text that sets the rule. A tool for grant managers, compliance officers, and finance directors who need answers they can trust at audit time.
What it does
Cost category lookup
Enter a cost category — Equipment, Travel,
Lobbying, Supplies — and get back whether it is
allowable, unallowable, or requires
prior written approval, with the exact 2 CFR 200 section
and verbatim text.
Report deadline calculator
Give your period end date and report type (FFR/SF-425, SF-270, closeout, performance) and receive the literal calendar deadline — 90 calendar days or 120 calendar days, per the regulation — plus the clause that sets it.
34+ cost categories covered
Salary, fringe benefits, equipment, supplies, travel, consultants, participant support, indirect costs, and every category 2 CFR 200 names. Unallowable items are flagged in plain language with their prohibition clause.
Everything quoted, nothing guessed
Every ruling and every deadline carries its regulation citation and verbatim text. If a category is not in the rules, the tool says so — it never fabricates an answer. No accounts, no login, no stored data.
How it works
Open the app, select a cost category or enter a period-end date, and the tool returns the applicable rule from 2 CFR 200 — quoted, cited, and colour-coded. Every session is a single HTTP request. Nothing is saved, logged, or stored. There is no account to create and no data to manage.
