Understand the report columns
|
Column |
What it means |
|
User |
The staff member whose time entries are included in the selected period and filters. |
|
Billable Time |
Total time marked billable for the staff user. Time is displayed in hours and minutes (HH:MM). |
|
Non-Billable Time |
Total time marked non-billable for the staff user. |
|
Total Hours |
Billable Time plus Non-Billable Time. |
|
Total Billable Amount |
The value of billable time, calculated by multiplying each billable time entry by its applicable bill rate and summing the results. |
|
Utilization (%) |
Billable Time divided by Total Hours, expressed as a percentage. |
Calculations: Total Hours = Billable Time + Non-Billable Time. Utilization = Billable Time ÷ Total Hours × 100. Total Billable Amount = the sum of each billable entry multiplied by its applicable bill rate.

Grand Total
The Grand Total row aggregates Billable Time, Non-Billable Time, Total Hours, and Total Billable Amount for all staff included in the report. Grand Total Utilization is calculated from the aggregated billable and total hours; it is not a simple average of each user’s utilization percentage.
Review the underlying time entries
Select a staff user row to open the time entries behind that user’s totals. The detail view uses the same report period and filters, allowing you to validate the entries that contributed to billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and utilization.

How to use this report
- Compare billable and non-billable effort across staff members.
- Identify users whose utilization is materially different from the rest of the team, then review the underlying entries for context.
- Review the billable value of time recorded during the selected period.
- Validate that time was classified correctly before using it in management or performance discussions.
Important interpretation notes
- Hours may exceed 24. Time values use an hours:minutes format and accumulate across the entire report period.
- Utilization needs context. Non-billable time may include administration, training, internal initiatives, leave, or other valid activities.
- Billable value is not revenue. The report values billable time at bill rates; invoicing, write-ups or write-downs, collections, and realization are measured elsewhere.
Frequently asked questions
Why is Grand Total Utilization different from the average of the percentages shown?
Grand Total Utilization is weighted by hours: total billable time for all included users divided by their combined total hours.
