Pricing of assignments
Assignment-financed activities in Statistics Norway are self-financed. This means that assignments must be priced so that the total cost is covered.
The requirement for self-financing applies to the activity as a whole. This means that certain assignments may differ from the norm. Prices for a project are specified in the contract. In addition to the hourly rates, this also applies to any direct costs associated with the project.
The rates are normally based on actual wages for those working on the project, but the table provides some examples of employees in different categories. Rates are exclusive of VAT. Twenty-five per cent VAT is added to hourly rates, unless exceptions under the VAT Act are applicable.
Hourly rate 2026/2027:
