From the 1st Feb. 2016 the PI incentive in the budget calculator has been removed. Please note that this new split is applied to grants from the 1st Feb. 2016 onwards irrespective of the application date.
The PI incentive was an attempt to encourage PIs to increase the amount of time they put on RCUK applications to reflect a more realistic time commitment. Instead of the department receiving 14% of the income (based on the 1:6 ratio) it would then receive 30% of the PI salary awarded. This has now reverted back to 14%, until the new income allocation policy is introduced in August.
