Break down budgets per project and per task with Cost Tracking

Understanding where your money is going is just as important as knowing where your time goes. Rockety's cost tracking gives you complete visibility into project profitability, helping you make informed decisions about pricing, resourcing, and future estimates.

Set budgets for projects

Every project can have a budget assigned to it. As work progresses and time is logged, you'll see exactly how much of that budget has been consumed. No more nasty surprises at the end of a project - you'll know well in advance if you're heading over budget.

Assign hourly rates to team members

Different team members have different costs. Set hourly rates for each person in your organisation, and Rockety will automatically calculate costs based on the time they log. This gives you accurate, real-time visibility into what each task and project is actually costing you.

Track costs at every level

Rockety breaks down costs so you can understand your spending:

  • Per task - See exactly how much each piece of work is costing
  • Per project - Understand total project costs at a glance
  • Per team member - See where your labour costs are concentrated
  • Per client - Aggregate costs across all projects for a client

Compare estimated vs actual

Set budget estimates on tasks and projects, then compare them against actual costs as work progresses. Over time, this helps you improve your estimating and build more accurate quotes for future work.

Powerful reporting

Generate cost reports for any time period, project, or team member. These reports are invaluable for:

  • Client billing and invoicing
  • Internal budget reviews
  • Understanding profitability by project type
  • Identifying which work is most (and least) profitable

Works with Time Tracking

Cost tracking integrates seamlessly with Time Tracking. As your team logs time against tasks, costs are calculated automatically using their hourly rates. No manual data entry, no spreadsheets, just accurate cost data in real-time.
