# Recalculating costs of all resource plans in a project

Recalculate resource costs for all resource plans in a project when hourly rates change in the associated rate model.

## Before you begin

Ensure the following setup:

-   The project must be active.
-   The project must have an active rate model assigned.
-   The resource plans must be in the Planned, Requested, Confirmed, or Allocated state.

Role required: project\_manager

## About this task

This option recalculates the costs of all resource plans of the project at once. You can also open a resource plan from the **Resource Plans** related list to [recalculate the resource costs of an individual resource plan](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/resource-management/recalculate-resource-costs.md).

## Procedure

2.  Open a project.

3.  On the Project form, right-click on the header bar and select the **Recalculate Resource Costs** option.
