SIFL Table 

The SIFL table contains the monetary values required to calculate the imputed income. You may need to create the first table or you can just copy an existing table and thereby alleviate the need for entering some of the information as a majority of the data does not change from one period to the next. (In the example below, data from the previous record has been copied over.) 
Effective Date– the date entered should be the date the rates are effective, not the current date in which you are entering the rates. 

Note: If entering the new rates after the effective date, open and save each trip that has been created previously beginning with trips created on the effective date. This will recalculate the SIFL values. 


Purpose Section: 

This selection will be used for all SIFL calculations. By default, “Personal” will be selected. The other options are used when you want to link the SIFL rates with a passenger rate. 

Aircraft Multiples Section:

If you are copying the table from the previous period, the weight factors for Control and Non Control Emp and the Security factor will carry over.  
Reason – this field typically does not have any values set. This field is set if the passenger travelling requires some sort of multiple for a SIFL calculation. 

SIFL Rates Section: 

SIFL rates change on a period to period basis. The correct values are entered as cents per mile. In the example below, Rate 1 reads 24.55 cents. When the rates are published they are expressed in dollars. 
Intervals are set by miles and do not normally change. 
The terminal charge is expressed in dollars.
