# Billing Percentage Report

The **Billing percentage** report shows what percentage of billable hours have actually been invoiced to clients. It helps you track your billing progress and identify billable work that hasn't yet been billed.

## Key Metrics

The report displays the percentage of billable hours that have been billed, broken down by various dimensions to show where work is and isn't being invoiced.

## Using the Billing Percentage Report

To access the report:

1. Navigate to **Reports** in the main menu.

2. Click the **Billing percentage** link.

3. The report loads with the current year selected. You can change the year using the year selector at the top right of the page.

## Report Breakdown

The report shows billing percentages broken down by:

- **By project** — What percentage of billable hours are billed in each project
- **By client** — What percentage of billable hours are billed for each client
- **By employee** — What percentage of team members' billable hours have been billed
- **By label** — How billing percentages differ between labeled work types
- **By period** — Billing percentage for each month
- **By location** — Billing percentage by work location

## Filters

You can filter the report by:

- **Project** — See billing percentage for specific projects
- **Client** — Focus on a specific client
- **Employee** — See billing percentage for specific team members
- **Label** — Filter by work labels
- **Year** — Change the year (default is current year)

## Interpreting the Report

- **100% billed** — All billable hours for a project or client have been invoiced. Excellent.
- **High percentage (>90%)** — Most billable work has been billed. Small amount of unbilled work, likely recent entries.
- **Medium percentage (50-90%)** — Significant portion billed, but some work awaits invoicing. Review whether invoices are pending or delayed.
- **Low percentage (<50%)** — Considerable unbilled work. May indicate:
  - Invoices haven't been issued yet (normal for recently completed work)
  - Billing is delayed
  - Retainer arrangements where work isn't individually invoiced
  - Projects under a billing hold

## Best Practices

- **Monitor billing timeliness** — Track this report to ensure you're billing clients regularly and not letting work pile up unbilled.
- **Follow up on unbilled work** — Identify projects or clients where billable work hasn't been invoiced:
  - Is the project complete?
  - Are invoices pending review?
  - Should a proactive invoice be sent?
- **Improve cash flow** — By keeping billing percentage high, you improve your cash flow and reduce unbilled receivables.
- **Identify billing blocks** — If certain projects or clients consistently show low billing percentages, investigate whether there are process blocks or business policy reasons.

## Relationship to Other Metrics

This report is different from:

- **Billable ratio** — Shows what percentage of logged hours are billable (vs. non-billable). This report shows what percentage of those billable hours have actually been invoiced.
- **Billed revenue** — Shows total revenue from invoiced work. This report shows the percentage of billable work that has been billed.
