We use an inflation rate on the salary, not fringe. Although this year
we had a significant fringe increase, so I am wondering if it isn't a
valid practice to increase fringe as well. I am curious what others have
to say.

But when the charges actually hit the grant budget, it is the actual amount of charges for that employee, so in most cases different than what was proposed.

It has been suggested that I cannot inflate fringes because I am being inconsistent with the institutional published estimated rate.  I say poppycock!  I used the published estimated rate and added a bit!  That's what you do to protect your investigators budget.
