Time Tracking to Invoice: Bill Your Hours Automatically in Belgium
If you bill by the hour or by the day, manually calculating hours and transferring them into an invoice is tedious and error-prone. Eurobillr's time tracking feature lets you log time directly against projects, set your hourly or daily rate, and convert those logged hours into a complete, ready-to-send invoice — with full flexibility to review and edit before sending.
How Time Tracking Works in Eurobillr
The workflow is designed to be as simple as possible:
- Create a project — name it, assign a client, set the billing type (hourly or daily rate)
- Log your time — start a timer while working, or add time entries manually (date, duration, description of work done)
- Review your logged hours — see a full breakdown by date and task
- Generate invoice — click "Create invoice from time entries" and Eurobillr builds the invoice automatically
- Edit if needed — review line items, adjust descriptions, add fixed-price items alongside time entries
- Send — via PEPPOL, email, or with a payment link
Setting Your Rates
Eurobillr supports flexible rate configurations per project:
- Hourly rate — set a fixed rate per hour (e.g. €85/hour). All logged hours are multiplied automatically.
- Daily rate — set a rate per day (e.g. €650/day). Log full or partial days.
- Per-task rates — assign different hourly rates to different types of work within the same project (e.g. design at €90/hour, meetings at €70/hour)
- Mixed billing — combine time-based billing with fixed-price line items on the same invoice
The Generated Invoice
When you convert time entries to an invoice, Eurobillr creates a detailed invoice showing:
- Each work session with date and description
- Hours/days logged per session
- Rate per hour or day
- Subtotal per line item
- VAT calculated automatically at the correct Belgian rate
- Total amount due with payment terms
You can edit any line item, merge similar entries, add a project summary note, or add additional fixed-price items before sending.
Why This Matters for Billing Accuracy
Manual time tracking leads to undercharging. Studies show freelancers who track time with a dedicated tool bill 20–30% more hours than those who reconstruct time from memory at invoice time. Every untracked 15-minute call, email review, or revision round adds up.
Reporting: See Your Profitability Per Project
Eurobillr's time tracking also gives you project profitability reporting:
- Total hours logged vs. budgeted hours
- Revenue generated per project
- Effective hourly rate (total invoice ÷ total hours)
- Which clients and project types are most profitable
