Previously, role bill rates were set and managed in Team settings > Roles & rates. With the introduction of Data studio, role bill rates are now managed in Data studio > Rate cards.
​

Rate cards let you define role bill rates in one place and apply them across clients and projects. Instead of setting bill rates project by project, you can create a card with bill rates per role once and use it when setting up a project with a fee-based budget. 
​

If you were already using role bill rates, they were automatically migrated from Team settings > Roles&rates to Data studio > Rate cards as a Default Rate Card. This is a one-time migration, so you don't need to re-enter rates you've already set. The  Default Rate Card includes all the roles you've set for your team, along with their hourly bill rates.
​

📝Note: Person-level bill rates are not affected by this change. They remain as they are. In-flight and historic project rates are also unchanged. The migration only creates a default rate card from your existing role bill rates.

The updated navigation is rolling out gradually across all accounts in mid-July 2026.

If your team had more than one role bill rate set up, you can also see them in Data studio > Roles, alongside your role cost rates. This is available until September 9, 2026, to help you adjust to the change.
​

💡Here's a tip: Use this transition period to review the new layout and check how your default rate card reflects your role bill rates.

From September 9, 2026, Data studio > Rate cards will be the only place to set and manage role bill rates.
