Guide to the Unit Costs Spreadsheet
3.4 Costs Worksheet
Enter your expenses in the Costs worksheet.
Note that the percentage (%) of the Wage Cost in Each Service Type is calculated using the
data supplied in the Hours sheet and is used to apportion costs across service types.
Expenses
Expenses are split up into the following categories:
Cat 1 Direct Employee Costs - Salaries and Wages Costs are automatically calculated
based on information entered in the Hours sheet
Cat 2 Direct Travel (i.e. in delivery of services)
Cat 3 Materials (in delivery of services)
Cat 4 Direct Purchased Services (e.g. sub-contracted services)
Cat 5 Indirect Time Costs (backup costs to service delivery, e.g. rosters, training,
progress notes)
Cat 6 Management & Admin Employee Costs (manager, accounting, quality, reception)
Cat 7 Accommodation
Cat 8 Other Service Costs
Cat 9 Overhead Allocation (administration costs incurred by head office or sponsor
organisation). Note: do not include capital expenditure, i.e. HACC capital grant
purchases.
A full definition of each category is provided in the Cost Cats worksheet.

A Note on Meals on Wheels
(MOW):
It is useful to calculate the
cost of MOW but keep in mind
that HACC funds the delivery
component only and will
disallow any other expenses.
Whatever the difference is
between the unit price and
cost, it should be recouped
from the client. HACC
considers meals a cost of
daily living.
