Rate structures
What this means
Per project rate overrides are custom billing rates set on a specific project, overriding client or baseline rates for that specific job.
Finance admins, agency managers, and consultants who negotiate project-specific rate deals under broad client contracts.
Project rate agreements get missed during billing reviews
If your system only supports client-level rates, billing custom project deals is complex. Finance must search contracts and edit invoice rates manually, leading to rate mistakes and billing delays.
Signs this is happening on your team
- Invoices are sent with standard client rates instead of project rates
- Finance spends hours manually adjusting rates per project bill
- Custom project rate sheets are kept in offline PDF files
- New projects default to client rates, overwriting custom deals
- You cannot set different project rates for the same team member
What this costs you
Failing to enforce project-specific rates leads to lost revenue, client disputes over billing, and delayed invoicing cycles.
Project-level rate sheets and overrides
TimeTracker supports project-level rate overrides. Define custom rates when setting up a project. Any hour logged to that project draws from those overrides automatically, locking in correct pricing.

Frequently asked questions
- Can we set overrides by task?
- Yes. You can customize rates for specific tasks on a project, overriding role and person rates.
- What happens if a rate changes mid-project?
- You can update the project overrides with an effective date, protecting past work while applying the new rate going forward.
- Do project overrides affect cost rates?
- No. Project overrides only apply to billing rates, leaving internal cost rates clean for margin tracking.
- Is override rate data hidden from team members?
- Yes, you can configure tracking permissions so employees only see task timers, not billing rates.
