Billable hours vs. total hours

Total tracked time includes all work. Billable time is the portion assigned to client work that you intend to charge. The difference is non-billable time.

Billable utilization = billable hours / total tracked hours x 100

Why utilization is useful

Utilization helps agencies and freelancers see how much of their available time is directly revenue-producing. A higher number is not automatically better: sales, training, management, and administration may be necessary non-billable work.

Revenue and blended rate

Each entry can have a different rate. Total billable revenue is the sum of billable hours multiplied by each row's rate. The blended rate is total billable revenue divided by total billable hours.

Capacity and target gap

The capacity target is a planning feature. It shows how many billable hours would correspond to your chosen utilization percentage, plus the difference between the target and the billable hours currently entered.
