# Generate labor costs

# Generate labor costs {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 10, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Generate labor costs for projects and sub-projects based on the attribute-based resource assignments and the financial attributes configured in the planning attributes page.

## Before you begin

When the distribution of effort for a resource assignment is adjusted without changing the total planned effort, the system recalculates labor costs. These costs align with the updated effort distribution. For example, consider a resource assignment of 100 hours distributed as 60 hours in January and 40 hours in February. Now if you swap the efforts to make 40 hours in January and 60 hours in
February. Now the system automatically adjusts the labor costs so that January reflects the cost of 40 hours and February reflects the cost of 60 hours. This ensures that costs accurately correspond to the revised effort distribution.

Role required: it_project_manager
