Key Concepts
Types of Rate Tables
WorklogPRO Cloud supports two types of rate tables:
1. Billable Rate Tables
Calculate the revenue or billable amount for each hour worked
Used to determine what clients should be charged
Helps with invoicing and revenue recognition
2. Cost Rate Tables
Calculate the internal cost for each hour worked
Used to determine payroll and resource costs
Helps with budget tracking and cost analysis
Profit Calculation
When you use both a Billable and Cost rate table with the same currency, WorklogPRO automatically calculates:
Profit = Billable Amount - Cost Amount
Profit Margin = (Profit ÷ Billable Amount) × 100%
This gives you instant visibility into project profitability.
How Rate Tables Work
Each rate table contains:
Default Rate - Applied to all worklogs that don't match any rule
Rules - Conditional overrides that apply different rates based on criteria
When calculating rates for a worklog, the system:
Evaluates rules from highest to lowest priority
Uses the first rule where ALL conditions match
Falls back to the default rate if no rules match
