Track your budget through time or costs
Every report you need — configured your way, always up to date.
Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
Use this page when an Asana project needs a clear money view: total budget, logged time, labor cost, expenses, and remaining room before the team commits more work. The practical goal is not a static number. You need a repeatable way to see whether project activity still fits the approved budget, retainer, or fixed fee.
Start with the project, then decide which budget type matches the commercial agreement. A fixed-fee project needs a ceiling that protects margin. A time-and-materials project needs rates that turn hours into billable amounts. A non-billable internal project still needs cost visibility, because tracked hours and expenses show the real investment behind the work.
A clean Asana budget workflow needs a target amount or hour limit, assigned work, user or project rates, tracked time, and expense records. Time entries should stay tied to the right project and task context so reports can separate design, development, review, admin, and client work instead of flattening everything into one total.
Expenses need the same discipline. A $180 software charge, a $42 receipt, and 120 reimbursable miles should not sit in comments or side spreadsheets. Log each cost with a category, description, amount, and receipt when available. Decide whether that expense counts against the project budget or remains separate for reimbursement and profitability review.
The common mistake is tracking only hours while ignoring the rate and cost rules that make those hours meaningful. A senior specialist and a junior assistant can log the same 6 hours and create different budget pressure. Billable and non-billable choices also matter, because non-billable cleanup work affects profitability even when it should not appear on a client invoice.
Budget alerts need explicit thresholds. A team can act at 50% or 80% of budget only if someone defines those checkpoints and reviews them while work is still underway. Late review turns a budget into a postmortem. Project owners should also decide whether expenses count against a fee budget, because that one setting changes how fast the project appears to consume its limit.
A one-off budget check works when you need a quick read on one project, one client, or one week of activity. It is enough for a small fixed scope, a short internal effort, or a project owner who only needs a current budget position before approving the next task batch.
A managed workflow becomes necessary when tracked time, receipts, rates, alerts, invoices, and reports need to stay connected. Everhour fits that setup by embedding time tracking in Asana, syncing project and task data, applying budget rules, and keeping expense records available for reporting, invoicing, and profitability review.

An Asana project budget should include the target budget, the work included in scope, rates for labor cost or billing, tracked time, billable status, expenses, and a reporting view that shows actuals against the target. For client work, define whether the project is fixed fee, hourly, or non-billable before people start logging time.
Rates convert tracked time into cost, revenue, or both. A project budget based only on hours can hide margin problems when different people have different cost or billable rates. Set the rate logic before reporting begins, then keep time entries tied to the correct project, task, and person.
Project expenses should count against the budget when the approved budget covers total project spend, including labor and reimbursable costs. Keep them separate when the client reimburses expenses outside the fee or when internal reporting needs labor cost and expense cost shown independently. The rule must be consistent across the project.
Late overruns usually come from reviewing totals after the work is already done. A project owner needs live tracked time, current expenses, rates, and alert thresholds during delivery. Waiting for a final invoice or end-of-month spreadsheet removes the chance to reduce scope, pause work, or approve extra budget in time.
Budget reporting should be detailed enough to explain the variance. Project-level totals show whether the budget is healthy, but task, person, billable status, and expense category breakdowns show why. A good report lets you separate approved delivery work from rework, admin time, non-billable support, and reimbursable costs.
Everhour Expenses records project costs with receipt images or PDFs, unit-based categories, budget inclusion controls, invoice integration, and expense reports. Teams can review costs by project, client, member, category, date range, and billable status while keeping expense records connected to profitability and reimbursement workflows.
Everhour supports hourly-rate, fixed-fee, and non-billable project budgets with configurable email alert thresholds. Admins choose the percentages that matter for the project, then use project summaries and reports to review total time, remaining budget, billable versus non-billable hours, and exportable budget data.
Track time, receipts, rates, and budget status from one workflow. Everhour keeps Asana project expenses connected to reporting, invoicing, and profitability review.
