Rate Tables - Billable and Cost Calculations

Rate Tables - Billable and Cost Calculations

Introduction

The Rate Table feature in WorklogPRO Cloud enables organizations to automatically convert time-based worklogs into monetary values. This powerful tool helps you:

  • Calculate billable amounts for client invoicing

  • Track internal costs for resource management

  • Analyze project profitability

  • Generate accurate financial reports from time tracking data

What You Can Do

  • Create multiple rate tables for different scenarios (billable rates, cost rates)

  • Define flexible rules that apply different rates based on conditions

  • Apply rate tables to reports to see financial metrics

  • Share rate tables across your organization

  • Export and import rate tables between instances or privacy

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:

  1. Default Rate - Applied to all worklogs that don't match any rule

  2. Rules - Conditional overrides that apply different rates based on criteria

When calculating rates for a worklog, the system:

  1. Evaluates rules from highest to lowest priority

  2. Uses the first rule where ALL conditions match

  3. Falls back to the default rate if no rules match
