# Rates Table

{% hint style="info" %}
Rates require billing features to be active in your StayOnHire account and that your account has the appropriate permissions to view, create, edit and delete billing data. Refer to [Activate Billing](https://docs.stayonhire.com/billing/pages/6GFzcrlovmNSl6WNeEBX#id-1.-activate) and [User Permissions](https://docs.stayonhire.com/billing/pages/6GFzcrlovmNSl6WNeEBX#id-3.-user-permissions) for more information.
{% endhint %}

## Overview

Once categories are setup in your account, you will have the ability to configure a Base Rates Table. This table is used by your internal billing teams to achieve two primary functions:

1. Give your sales team a quick reference to what you charge per category; and
2. Pre-fill the default rates into your new jobs

## How it Works

Setup Categories in your account's settings, then add a base rate for each asset category.
