Time Log Template
Turn logged hours into actionable revenue insights with automatic billable percentage calculations and project-level summaries.
About the Time Log Template
This time log template is a two-sheet Excel workbook built for freelancers, consultants, and project teams who need to track billable and non-billable hours. Log daily time entries with project name, start and end times, auto-calculated duration, activity category, and billable status across 30 rows. Dropdown lists ensure consistent data entry for projects, categories, and billing flags, while conditional formatting color-codes rows by billable status for quick scanning. The Summary sheet automatically aggregates hours by project with billable and non-billable breakdowns, calculates your billable percentage, and estimates revenue based on your hourly rate. When it is time to bill, feed your totals into the Invoice Tracking Template to manage receivables. A pie chart visualizes time allocation across projects.
