Harvard Business Review research found that the average person underestimates their workweek by 5.5 hours — worth roughly $21,000 per year at a $75 hourly rate. This Timesheet captures every billable hour so that money stays where it belongs.

Frequently asked questions

Can I track time for multiple clients?

Yes. The template has a client column and a project column for each time entry. The summary tab calculates total hours and invoice value per client automatically.

How do I turn logged hours into an invoice?

The monthly summary shows total hours and value per client. Copy those figures into the invoice template — or use the linked invoice template that pulls timesheet data directly.

Is this suitable for teams or just individuals?

For teams, create one copy per team member and use a summary sheet that pulls totals from each individual timesheet. This gives managers a consolidated view without everyone editing the same sheet.
