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.
Turn Linear issue activity into a time and cost view for a client, finance lead, founder, or delivery manager. The practical result is a report that answers specific questions: which project used the most hours, which issues absorbed the work, which members logged time, and which date range changed the total.
A useful report starts with the same work structure your team uses daily. Linear keeps issue context such as project, cycle, label, assignee, priority, status, and estimate. Everhour adds time entries, billable status, rates, cost, and exportable report views on top of synced project and issue data, so the report reads like the project record instead of a separate spreadsheet.
Start with the question, then choose the grouping. Group by project when the reviewer needs portfolio-level spend. Group by issue when the discussion is about scope creep, rework, or delivery detail. Group by member when the report supports payroll review, utilization review, or staffing decisions. Use the date range when the audience wants a weekly or monthly trend.
The core fields are project, issue, member, date, tracked time, billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and cost. Comments matter when entries need explanation, especially for review work, support interruptions, or handoff-heavy tasks. Hour estimates belong in the report only as context for planned versus actual time. Effort points should stay separate from hours and cost.
A stakeholder summary needs fewer rows than an operations report. A weekly status report can show project totals, billable and non-billable time, and the main issues that changed the total. A monthly finance report needs cost, billable amount, invoice status, and a date range that matches the accounting period. The same time data should produce both views without rebuilding the source.
Billable and non-billable time belong in the same reporting view when the report explains project economics. Hiding non-billable work makes delivery look cleaner than it was and makes margins harder to explain. A clean report separates client-chargeable work from internal coordination, bug review, planning, and administration while still keeping the full labor picture visible.
A one-off spreadsheet is enough when you need a quick summary for a small project, a narrow date range, or a single client update. Export the rows, check the grouping, remove irrelevant columns, and send a compact version. That approach works when the report answers one question and the source entries are already complete.
A managed workflow fits when reports repeat every week or month, when approved time feeds billing, or when people outside the delivery team need exports. Everhour keeps Linear project and issue metadata connected to tracked time, then supports saved reports, role-gated money columns, and CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF downloads for people who do not work in the tool.

The right breakdown follows the decision the report supports. Use project grouping for budget or portfolio review, issue grouping for delivery detail, member grouping for staffing and utilization, and date grouping for weekly or monthly trends. Keep billable and non-billable columns visible when the report explains cost or client billing.
Effort points can appear as planning context, but they should not replace tracked hours. Linear estimate scales express effort or size values, such as Exponential, Fibonacci, Linear, or T-Shirt scales. Cost reporting needs time entries and rates. Treat hour estimates and effort points as separate planning signals, then compare actual tracked hours against the right baseline.
A stakeholder status report should include the reporting period, project totals, key issue-level drivers, billable and non-billable time, cost or billable amount when the audience is allowed to see money, and a short note for unusual entries. Exclude raw activity noise unless the reviewer needs audit detail. Export a fuller version for finance or operations.
Mixed entry rules make reports hard to trust. A team that logs some work by timer, adds other work late, and leaves issue assignments incomplete creates totals that are difficult to explain. Set a review cadence, require clear issue-level entries, separate billable from non-billable work, and approve time before using it for billing, payroll review, or cost reporting.
Weekly review catches missing entries while the work is still familiar. Monthly review fits billing, finance, and leadership reporting because it matches common accounting periods. Teams with client retainers, budget caps, or high delivery risk should use both cadences: weekly for correction and monthly for the official report package.
Everhour integrates with Linear through embedded controls and synced work metadata. Team members can log time from Linear issue context, while Everhour carries project, issue, status, and tag data into reports so managers can group tracked time by the structure the team already uses.
Everhour Reporting lets admins build filtered reports with columns such as member, task, project, billable time, non-billable time, labor costs, profit, invoice status, and budget metrics. Saved reports can be downloaded as CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF for clients, finance teams, or archived monthly reporting.
Track approved hours from Linear issue work, keep billable and non-billable time visible, and download stakeholder-ready reports from Everhour for clearer cost, billing, and review.
