Insights: Results per Hour Type

Provides insight into the gross margin achieved on hours per hour type.

Written by Simplicate Support

The Result per hour type report shows whether the cost price of the employees logging hours on a hour type is in balance with the specified total of that hour type. By looking across different axes — hour type, employee, client — you can see, for example, whether a senior employee is logging too many hours on 'junior' hour types: the cost price is then high relative to the selling price, and tasks need to be redistributed or the selling price needs to go up.


Report layout

At the top is the filter bar; below that are four charts (Result on hours per month, Per hour type, Per employee, and Per client) and the Detail view (the table). The result can be viewed in value and in percentages.


Result on hours per month

Tracks the trend of the result per month, so you can see whether the ratio between the specified total and the cost price remains stable over time.


Per hour type

Places the result per hour type side by side, so you can see which types of work perform well and which cost prices eat into the margin.


Per employee

Shows the result per employee, so you can see who scores better or worse on a given hour type.


Per client

Groups the result per client, so you can see for which clients the margin on hours is under pressure.


Detail view

The table shows the underlying figures per hour type. Drill down on a notable hour type or employee to take targeted action. Use Columns to choose which columns are visible, and Export to download the data.

How the result is calculated

The underlying logic is comparable to that of Result per employee. The formulas:

Result in value: Invoiceable − Total cost price

Result in %: (Invoiceable − Total cost price) / Invoiceable × 100%
