Utilization Deep Dive
Understanding Utilization
Utilization = Billable Hours / Available Hours × 100Example:
- Available: 40 hours/week
- Billable logged: 32 hours
- Utilization: 80%
Targets
Typical agency targets:
| Role | Target |
|---|---|
| Junior | 75-80% |
| Mid-level | 80-85% |
| Senior | 70-75% |
| Manager | 50-60% |
100% utilization isn’t healthy. People need time for internal work, learning, and admin.
Utilization Report
The report shows:
- By person
- By team/department
- Trend over time
- Billable vs non-billable split
Profitability Reports

- Margin (revenue - cost)
- Margin %
By Client
Roll up all projects for a client to see:
- Total revenue
- Total cost
- Net margin
- Lifetime value
Internal Rates
Set cost rates per person to calculate true profitability:
Revenue: $15,000
Hours: 100
Avg cost rate: $75/hour
Cost: $7,500
Margin: $7,500 (50%)Configure internal rates in Settings → Team.
Work in Progress (WIP)
WIP = unbilled time and expenses.
Why Track WIP
- Know how much you’re owed
- Don’t leave money on the table
- Identify billing backlog
WIP Report
Shows by client/project:
- Unbilled hours
- Unbilled amount (hours × rate)
- Age of oldest entry
High WIP is a red flag. It means work is done but not invoiced. Review weekly.
