Setting up rates for a project

Rates are used to calculate billing amounts if the project uses a Time Billing plan; you don’t need to assign rates if the project’s bill plan isn’t Time-based. Refer to Adding a bill plan to a project for more information on Time Billing and other bill plans.

There are three types of rates:

• Project rate - default rate, used if no other rates are assigned to a resource
• Role rate - associated with roles that resources can be assigned
• Resource rate - a rate associated with a specific resource

Each resource will be billed using the most specific rate available to them. That is:

1. If a user rate is assigned to a resource, they’ll be billed at that rate.
2. If no user rate is assigned, and their assigned role is enabled for the project, they’ll be billed at their role rate.
3. If neither a user rate nor their role rate is available, they’ll be billed at the project rate.

To add a rate that can be used for the project:

1. Click the Edit button located at the top, right-hand corner of the page.

   

2. Click + Rate Type, and select a type.

3. For resource rates, select the resource name. For role rates, select the role.

4. In the Billing Rate field, add the rate for that resource/role/project.

5. You can add additional rates, for each resource/role/project by clicking the  icon:

Or, rates for additional resources/roles by clicking the + Add Rate icon:

FAQs

Why can’t I click Save in the rate card?

Check that no empty rows display for rates – empty rows prevent you from saving changes.
