In an Hours column, 0.25 is 15 minutes. With a Rate column, blank or zero rates count as non-billable by default. Without one, every row with a readable duration counts. A blank row, or a row whose time can't be read, is left out.

Get a total from your timesheet

Paste your rows, or open a CSV or Excel file on this device. The calculator reads the file in your browser and doesn’t send your rows anywhere. It shows your billable hours. With rates in one currency, it also calculates the amount.

For example, 2.5 hours at $80 per hour gives $200. Another 1.5 hours at $100 adds $150, for four billable hours and $350.

In an Hours column, 0.25 means 15 minutes, and 1 means one hour.

Understand the result

When your sheet includes rates, rows with an empty or zero rate count as non-billable by default. Without a rate column, every row with a readable duration counts. A blank row, or a row whose time can’t be read, is left out.

Make the next invoice easier

This calculator totals time you have already recorded. For new work, a manual time tracker saves you from trying to remember Friday what happened on Monday.

With TimeRetain, you can keep each client’s hours together and review the work before you bill. You have the hours and notes to refer to when an invoice question comes up.
