Billable vs non-billable

Every time entry has a Billable switch. It's on by default, and for most client work you can leave it alone. Flip it off for hours you want to track but never charge for — internal admin, sales calls, pro bono work, or that afternoon you spent fighting your own dev environment.

What the flag changes​

Invoicing. When you create an invoice, Gigtime only pulls in billable uninvoiced entries. Non-billable time never appears on an invoice, no matter which client or project it belongs to.

Reports. The Reports page includes a billable filter and a billable-vs-non-billable breakdown bar, so you can see how much of your week actually earns money.

Exports. CSV exports include a Billable column (Yes/No) and compute an amount only where a rate applies, so your spreadsheet math stays clean.

Spotting non-billable entries​

In the entries list, non-billable entries carry a small money icon with a "Non-billable" tooltip. You can also filter the list: open the filter bar and tap the billable chip to cycle between Billable: All, Billable, and Non-billable.

Changing it later​

The flag isn't permanent. Open any entry and toggle the switch — unless the entry is already on an invoice, in which case it's locked like the rest of the entry's fields.
