Time leakage calculator! ## How many more billable hours could you earn? \*Assuming 80% utilization rate and 1 in 5 billable hours being lost to inaccurate manual time tracking. Example: 40 hours total per week. Utilization at 80% takes potential billable hours down to 32 hours per week. With 1 in 5 billable hours being lost to inaccurate tracking this means you will lose over 6 hours per week. At $80 per hour billed, that’s a $512 loss you could have easily earned with Timely. ## Learn how Timely can help your consultancy With a whole host of features Timely is designed to help consultants and consultancies reach their peak in efficiency and profitability.
