Hourly Billable Rates and Cost Rates

planned

Adam Roe

What is the point of tracking time if you can't see its relationship to cost? Clients do pay you with hours and at to ask we create hundreds of automatons for something as simple as a rate variable. Please stop wasting time on apple watch integration, Siri, Alexia and more outer edge integrations when something as fundamental as hourly rates are missing.

This hits a real gap. Tracking time without any link to cost or billing makes it hard to use the data in a meaningful way.
Yes, this is more complex than it sounds. You need to handle sensitive cost data carefully, introduce permissions, maybe thresholds or visibility rules so not everyone sees internal rates. That part is understood.
But even with that complexity, this is fundamentally important. For services teams, time only becomes actionable when it connects to cost and price. Having a cost rate and a billing rate per person, and being able to apply them to estimates and actuals, enables proper budget tracking, margin visibility, and automated billing (project governance).
Right now, we are forced to rebuild this outside of ClickUp, which adds overhead. Bringing this into the platform would remove a major friction point and unlock much stronger reporting and controlling.

PLEASE PLEASE DEVELOP THIS.

Austin Pierce

100% need this!

Tom Mackay

Crazy that this was requested 6 years ago now and still is planned. Do we have a timeline on when this will be implemented? As right now just having hours is pretty useless.

Tom Mackay: Unfortunately we don't have a timeline for this at the moment.

This feature is highly important and should be prioritised in ClickUp development. Time estimate and recording are not enough. We need the relationship to cost and billing (price). Each person should have a cost rate and a billing rate. It should be possible to multiply time estimates and time recorded with rates to calculate budgeted and actual staff cost, as well as calculating the billing using the price rate.

Bugra Oktay

Melanie von Schorlemer: You've outlined this really well and the need makes complete sense to us. Having cost rates and billing rates tied to time data is the kind of functionality that makes time tracking truly actionable. Unfortunately we don't have a timeline for this capability yet, but it's on our radar.

Andrea Colajacomo

The status is "PLANNED." Is there a set timeline?

Bugra Oktay

Andrea Colajacomo: Unfortunately, there isn't.

Eryk Jakubik

we need that ;)

Devin Littlefield

This feature was first requested 6 years ago…? Yikes!

That said, I’d really love this feature! It’d make reporting SO MUCH more useful.

Joel Grunfeld

Also truly surprised that such a basic feature that's already available on most time tracking software is still not available in the ''CLICKUP 1 PLATFORM FOR ALL''

Tom Barrett

Please introduce the rates soon. It is so important for us as businesses to calculate profitability. We don't want to have to do this outside of Clickup. Look at the amount of votes for this....
