Measurement
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 to define a spending boundary for work managed in Asana, then check that boundary against tracked hours and billable value. Start with the outcome: a project owner needs a target, a rate basis, and a running view of used budget. The task list stays in Asana. The budget layer uses time entries, rates, and project summaries to show whether the work still fits the limit.
Use the limit as a spending rule for one project, client, phase, or retainer period. A $5,000 fixed-fee project needs a money target and a clear rule for which hours count against it. A 120-hour implementation needs an hour target and a review cadence. In both cases, every task entry needs the right project, date, person, billable status, and description so the remaining budget means something.
A budget limit needs a unit first: hours, money, fixed fee, or non-billable monitoring. Hour budgets work when the constraint is effort, such as 80 design hours. Money budgets work when rates convert time into cost or billable value. Fixed-fee budgets fit retainers and scoped client work because tracked time measures margin pressure against the agreed fee.
Set the rate rules before the first entry reaches the project. Use project rates when the same price applies to everyone, member rates when people bill differently, and custom task rates when a specific work type needs its own price. Mark non-billable tasks separately. Deleting them hides work that still consumes the project budget and delivery capacity.
A budget target loses value when the first serious review happens after the limit is gone. Set threshold alerts at percentages that match the project risk. For a short client sprint, use alerts at 50% and 80%. For a longer retainer, send an earlier warning to the delivery lead and a later warning to the account owner.
Treat alerts as review triggers. The owner should check open tasks, remaining estimates, billable and non-billable split, and recent manual entries before changing scope or pausing work. A hard cap works only when the workflow stops extra logging after the exceeded limit; approvals and locked periods still matter because late edits can change the final report.
A one-off budget check is enough when you need a quick target for one project and the team already agrees on rates, billable rules, and remaining work. It also works for a proposal draft or a simple sanity check before kickoff. Once people begin logging time against live Asana tasks, the budget needs a record that updates with each entry.
Everhour gives that workflow a durable layer: embedded timers on Asana tasks, synced project and task metadata, configurable budget alerts, and reports that separate billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and cost. Use the free check to decide the limit, then let tracked work, approvals, and exports carry the number into billing review.

Choose the unit that matches the constraint. Use an hour limit when the project owner cares about delivery effort, such as 120 implementation hours. Use a money limit when rates convert tracked time into budget usage. Then assign the limit to one project, phase, retainer period, or client scope so every review compares the same work.
Use hours when the budget is a capacity promise: the team can spend a set amount of effort before review. Use money when internal cost, client price, or fixed-fee margin matters. Money limits need clean cost or billable rates before time starts flowing into the project.
Count every entry that consumes the scoped budget, including meetings, revisions, and project management when those activities belong to the client or project. Keep non-billable work visible with the correct status. Removing it from reports makes remaining budget look larger and hides the true delivery cost.
Set the first alert early enough to change staffing or scope while useful work remains. A 50% alert fits short projects with tight scope; a 75% alert fits longer work with predictable burn. Add a later alert for the person who approves a scope change, rate change, or pause.
A budget becomes unreliable when rates, billable status, and time entries are cleaned up after the review deadline. Late manual entries, unmarked non-billable work, and missing task descriptions all push managers toward decisions based on incomplete spend. Lock the review period after approval so totals stop moving.
Everhour lets admins set project billing status, mark specific tasks non-billable, set custom task rates, and handle member-rate exceptions. Admin reports can show Billable Time, Non-Billable Time, Billable Amount, and Cost, so Asana project budgets use the same billing split as client review.
Everhour supports configurable email alert thresholds for Asana-connected project budgets, including hourly-rate, fixed-fee, or non-billable setups. Admins choose the percentages, then use project summaries for total time, budget remaining, and billable versus non-billable hours. Reports can export to Excel for billing or management review.
Set budget limits from the same Asana work your team tracks. Everhour separates billable and non-billable time, task rates, billable amounts, and costs for cleaner client billing.
