Welcome
This page details the budget specifics for European Solidarity Corps projects carried out under ESC51-VTJ - Volunteering Projects.
For a general description of the budget screen functionality, please see the page Budget in projects.
In your project, click on Budget in the Content menu. The Budget screen is displayed.
It consists of a single tab, displaying budget totals calculated at project level, followed by a breakdown per activity type.
In the breakdown per activity type, you will only see those budget items for which the awarded grant and/or the reported costs are higher than zero, and only completed participations are taken into account in the calculations.
The first part of the screen includes the cost items that are calculated at project level:
If you have organised preparatory visits in relation to the activities carried out within the project, provide the total Number of participants involved in the preparatory visits. When you leave the Number of participants field, the Total cost for preparatory visits is updated (calculated automatically) and a success message is displayed.
The Total project Reported budget and %Reported/Awarded will also be updated.
The project costs are also displayed per activity type:
The amounts are calculated based on the information you provided in the Participations section of the project, and cannot be modified here.
Remember
You will only see the activity types and budget items for which the awarded grant and/or the reported costs are higher than zero, and only completed participations are taken into account in the calculations.
Each activity type is listed as a section, aggregating all budget data for all the activities of that type implemented in the project. You can click on the dedicated up/down arrows to collapse/expand each section, respectively.
The below new features are available in the Budget screen in beneficiary projects, currently available for KA121, KA122, KA151, KA152, KA153 and KA154 projects only. The new features are also available for projects under the European Solidarity Corps programme, specifically in ESC30 and ESC51 projects.

Clicking the Hide empty items checkbox at the top of the screen allows you to hide budget items with a reported budget of 0 EUR.
Expand/Collapse icon
It is possible to expand or collapse the subsections to view more details, where applicable, by clicking the + or - icons.
When using the Export PDF button, if a subsection is expanded, it will also appear expanded in the exported PDF file.
