Billable rates

Set billable rates per teammate or project so time reports show what work is worth.

Billable rates let Examply calculate the dollar value of tracked time, per teammate or per project. This is useful for client-services teams that bill by the hour.

Note: Billable rates require the Pro or Enterprise plan and are set by Admins and Owners.

Setting a rate per teammate

Open Workspace settings > Billable rates and set a default hourly rate for each teammate, for example $85/hour for Priya. This rate applies to all of a teammate's billable time unless a project overrides it.

Setting a rate per project

Open a project's settings and set a project-level rate, such as $120/hour for "Client onboarding." Project rates take priority over a teammate's default rate whenever both apply, so you can bill the same person differently across clients.

  1. Open the project, for example "Client onboarding."

  2. Go to Project settings > Billing.

  3. Turn on Billable and enter an hourly rate.

  4. Optionally override the rate for individual teammates on that project.

How rates apply

Rate source

Applies when

Project-level teammate override

Set for a specific teammate on a specific project

Project default rate

Project is billable but no per-teammate override is set

Teammate default rate

Project isn't billable, but the teammate has a workspace default

No rate

Time is tracked but excluded from billable totals

Time reports show billable value alongside hours whenever a rate applies, and you can filter reports to billable time only.

Currency and rounding

Rates are set in your workspace's default currency, chosen once under Workspace settings > Billable rates. Examply doesn't support mixed currencies across projects in the same workspace — if you bill clients in different currencies, track each currency's work in a separate workspace.

Billable value is calculated to the minute and rounded to two decimal places in reports and exports. There's no minimum billing increment; a 6-minute entry at $120/hour reports as $12.00, not rounded up to a quarter hour.

Editing or removing a rate

Update a rate any time from the same Billable rates or Project settings > Billing screens where you set it. To stop billing a project altogether, turn off Billable in its settings — existing billable entries keep their recorded value, but new time logged afterward won't have one.


Tips

  • Guests never accrue billable rates — they can't track time.

  • Changing a rate only affects time logged after the change; past entries keep the rate that was active when they were logged.

  • Export a billable-only report before invoicing a client so totals match what you bill for.
