###### ${color}[#ff1f49](Surcharged projects)
We have implemented the rating boost as a part of [surcharged projects](https://help.knowmoreplatform.com/en/article/what-is-a-surcharge-2852kv/). Therefore now you get extra money + better rating by taking on projects with surcharge.
**Example:**
* Surcharge 20% -> means **0.2 rating boost** _(If you get a rating 10 - your rating with boost will be 10.2, if you get a rating 8 - your rating with boost will be 8.2)_
* Surcharge 40% -> means **0.4 rating boost** _(If you get a rating 10 - your rating with boost will be 10.4, if you get a rating 8 - your rating with boost will be 8.4)_
