Frequently asked questions

What counts as non-billable time?

Common examples are invoicing, prospecting, bookkeeping and internal learning. Client meetings may be billable if your agreement includes them.

What if I have no working hours?

Zero hours produce zero billable time. This tool reports 0% utilization for that case because no capacity is available.
