The Commission has decided (decision from 15.01.2024)  to authorise the use of unit costs for personnel costs for actions under Horizon Europe and Euratom, which remains entirely optional. Beneficiaries can try it and, if not convinced, revert back to using actual costs for personnel (taking into account some restrictions).

Beneficiaries interested in personnel unit costs can calculate an indicative daily rate for their organisation using a Wizard, accessible on the dedicated page of Personnel Unit Cost on the Funding & Tenders Portal.

One single daily rate for personnel is agreed upfront with the beneficiary. It applies to all their staff working in a project. Reporting will be simplified because it is limited to the number of days worked.
