This can affect some of the elements in Step 5.
'Frequency' allows you to decide how the remuneration will be added to your model.
Depending on your country you might prefer to model permanent positions with an annual salary or a monthly salary. Contractors might be one-off.

By default these are set to your model duration.
'Amount' is the actual cost
Based on your frequency choice you can add that as an annual, one-off etc.
