Read the explanation

This saved fellowship ledger performs local budget arithmetic. Its representative award is five thousand dollars, divided into a three thousand five hundred stipend, one thousand travel and five hundred administration. Their sum is five thousand, so award minus allocation is zero. At point one pixels per dollar, the three segments are three hundred fifty, one hundred and fifty pixels, filling a five hundred pixel award container. Percentages are seventy, twenty and ten. These are editable fixture entries, not verified grant payments, named-person records or proof of statutory compliance. The export button says verified, but the code verifies no external award document. Move the native stipend from thirty five hundred to four thousand. Total allocation becomes fifty five hundred and the balance becomes minus five hundred, which the page labels a deficit. The same scale makes a five hundred fifty pixel allocation against a five hundred pixel award, a fifty pixel excess. The source progress bar normalizes to the larger of award and allocation. It therefore displays rounded shares seventy three, eighteen and nine percent inside its bar, while a separate text reports one hundred ten percent of award. A filled progress bar alone does not show that the ledger is balanced; read the variance and the denominator. If the award instead becomes six thousand with the original line items, one thousand is unallocated. Its point one pixel scale occupies one hundred pixels. The chart includes that unallocated segment. Duration is separately editable from one to twenty four months. Changing six to twelve updates the export, but neither the line-item amounts nor the four saved milestone statuses are rescheduled. The JSON and downloaded text brief preserve the actual current inputs; the copy button copies JSON despite saying ledger text. Reset restores the representative six month and five thousand dollar fixture. These controls help inspect local arithmetic, without establishing an actual fellowship or funding policy.

Academic Grant & Fellowship Ledger Mechanics

How does the ledger calculate budget balance, line-item allocations, and milestone compliance status?

The ledger performs deterministic linear accounting on user-entered budget amounts. It tallies the sum of stipend, travel, and administrative overhead, then subtracts this sum from the total award amount to compute the budget variance. When the variance is zero, the workbench registers a fully allocated grant; positive variance indicates unallocated funds, while negative variance flags an over-allocated deficit. Milestone items and statutory references function as educational fixture templates rather than certified regulatory compliance reviews.

The tool uses simplified arithmetic and does not enforce specific institutional indirect cost rate agreements (NICRA), federal Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200) cost principles, or official sponsor-specific rebudgeting thresholds. Milestone dates, OCSLA/NEPA regulatory notes, and AIPN review tags are educational sample fixtures and do not constitute legal or institutional pre-award clearance.

Try a worked example

Set Total Award to $5,000, Researcher Stipend to $4,000, Travel to $1,000, and Institutional Overhead to $500. The allocated total updates to $5,500.00 (110.0% of awarded grant), and the budget balance shifts from '$0.00 - Fully Allocated' to '-$500.00 Deficit' with an alert indicating that budget reallocation is required.

Budget Balancing and Allocation Logic

The client-side script executes an event-driven function on every slider or numerical input adjustment. It evaluates total award against the sum of the researcher stipend, travel and fieldwork materials, and administrative overhead. Percentage shares are computed against the greater of the award amount or the total allocated expenditures to ensure visual progress segments remain bounded.

When expenditures match the award exactly, the balance reads '$0.00 - Fully Allocated'. A surplus leaves an unallocated percentage bar and a positive dollar figure. A deficit updates the readout to a negative amount and triggers an over-allocation alert in the readiness banner.
