The total budgeted costs in an indirect-cost pool divided by the total budgeted quantity of cost-allocation base.

For example: Manufacturing overhead = 900.000 and 25.000 machine hours.

--> 900.000/25.000 = 36 dollar per machine hour

You then divide by what your cost driver is...(machine hours, direct labor hours, etc..) that gives you an overhead cost per.
