How to Use the Time Tracking Calculator
Set your hourly rate (optional), then add entries for each task you work on. Enter the task name along with hours and minutes spent. The calculator sums your total hours and multiplies by your hourly rate to show total billable amount. Use this at the end of a workday, week, or project to prepare accurate invoices.
Why Track Your Time?
Time tracking is essential for freelancers who bill by the hour. It helps you understand where your time goes, ensures you invoice clients accurately, and reveals which projects are most profitable. Even if you charge flat rates, tracking time helps you estimate future projects more accurately and set competitive prices.
Tips for Accurate Time Tracking
Use descriptive task names that include the client or project name. Log time as soon as you finish a task rather than trying to remember later. Round to the nearest 15 minutes if that matches your billing increments. Review your time log before invoicing to catch any entries you may have missed.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I track billable hours as a freelancer?
Enter each task with its duration in hours and minutes. Set your hourly rate, and the calculator totals your billable amount automatically. This helps you invoice clients accurately and understand how you spend your work time.
What if I work on multiple projects?
Use descriptive task names that include the project or client name, such as "Acme Corp  Website redesign". This makes it easy to review your time log and allocate hours to specific projects when invoicing.
How are billable amounts calculated?
Each entry's duration (in decimal hours) is multiplied by your hourly rate. For example, 1 hour 30 minutes at $75/hour equals $112.50. The summary shows your total billable amount across all entries.
